Description
Want to make a restaurant-quality fish dish at home? This classic almondine fish recipe brings together delicate fish flavors with a crispy almond coating. You’ll create an elegant meal that’s surprisingly easy to prepare.
Description of the recipe
The baked almondine fish showcases a golden-brown crust made with panko breadcrumbs and sliced almonds that went together with one another with fresh parsley and zesty lemon. A mayonnaise coating will give a moist texture to the fish while baking and results in flaky, tender filets.
Ingredients
Scale
- 6 cod filets (6 ounces each)
- ¾ cup panko breadcrumbs
- ⅓ cup sliced almonds
- 3 tablespoons salted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons chopped parsley
- ⅓ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- 1 lemon
- Kosher salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Mix panko breadcrumbs and almonds in a small bowl. Add melted butter and toss until combined. Add parsley, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper.
- Season flour with a pinch of salt and pepper in a shallow dish.
- Coat both sides of fish filets in the seasoned flour and shake off excess.
- Apply a generous tablespoon of mayonnaise over each fish piece.
- Add the crumb mixture on top and press lightly to stick.
- Bake until the crumbs turn golden and the fish flakes easily, about 16-18 minutes.
- Squeeze fresh lemon juice before serving.
Notes
The mayonnaise plays a significant role to keep the fish moist and helps the crumb coating stick.
Add ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese to the crumb mixture to enhance flavor.
Watch your cooking time – the fish should be just cooked through and flaky.
