Broiled Fish with Peppery Almond Butter
Prep time: 5 min
Ready In: 10-15 min (Start
to Finish)
Makes: 4 servings
Ingredients:
1½ pounds Flounder, Sole, Halibut, Cod or
Haddock fillets
¼ cup All-purpose Flour
½ tsp. Salt
½ tsp. Paprika
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) Butter or Margarine
5 tsp. Vegetable Oil
½ cup Slivered Blanched Almonds
2 tablespoons of Lemon or Limejuice
5 or more drops of liquid Hot Red Pepper
Seasoning
Directions:
*
Preheat the broiler.
* Pat the fish dry with paper toweling.
* Combine the flour, salt, and paprika in a
shallow dish or plate.
* Coat the fish fillets with the flour mixture.
Shake off any excess flour.
* In a 7-inch skillet, melt 1 ½ Tbsp of the
butter, stir in the oil and brush the rack of
the broiler pan with some of the mixture.
* Place the fish on the rack, and brush the fish
with the remaining butter-oil mixture.
* Broil 3 to 4 inches from the heat, without
turning, for 5 minutes or longer, depending on
the thickness of the fish. When the fish flakes
easily when tested with a fork, it is done.
* Remove fish to a warm platter.
* While the fish is broiling, melt the remaining
2 ½ Tbsp of butter in the skillet over moderate
heat.
* Add the almonds, and cook, stirring
constantly, until lightly browned.
* Using a slotted spoon, remove the almonds from
the skillet, and scatter them over the fish.
* Add the lemon juice and red pepper seasoning
to the skillet, heat, and pour over the fish. |
