Ingredients

• 4 pieces sole fillets
• 0.5 cups almonds
• 0.5 cups pecans
• 0.25 cups parmesan cheese
• 0.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 whole eggs
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• 4 pieces lemon wedges
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Finely chop the almonds and pecans or pulse them in a food processor until they form small, coarse crumbs, but not a powder.

Step 3

In a shallow dish, combine the chopped nuts, grated parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.

Step 4

In another shallow dish, place the flour.

Step 5

In a third shallow dish, whisk together the eggs and milk until smooth.

Step 6

Pat the sole fillets dry with paper towels to remove any moisture, then lightly season them with additional salt and pepper, if desired.

Step 7

Dredge each fillet in the flour, shaking off any excess. Dip the fillet into the egg mixture, then press it firmly into the nut mixture to coat both sides evenly.

Step 8

Heat the olive oil and butter in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Once the butter has melted and begins to bubble, add the nut-crusted sole fillets.

Step 9

Cook the fillets for 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown.

Step 10

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 6-8 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

Step 11

Carefully remove the skillet from the oven and allow the fillets to rest for 2 minutes before serving.

Step 12

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve with lemon wedges. Pair with a light salad or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
