Ingredients
- 4 pieces Orange roughy fillets
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 tablespoons Butter
- 0.5 cup Sliced almonds
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Pat the orange roughy fillets dry with paper towels and set them aside.
Step 2
In a shallow dish, combine the flour, salt, and black pepper. Dredge each fillet in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.
Step 3
Heat 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Once melted, add the fillets to the pan and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden and the fish flakes easily with a fork. Remove the cooked fillets from the skillet and set them aside on a plate.
Step 4
In the same skillet, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the sliced almonds and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are golden brown and fragrant.
Step 5
Stir in the lemon juice and let it cook for 30 seconds to combine the flavors.
Step 6
Spoon the almond mixture over the cooked orange roughy fillets.
Step 7
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired, and serve immediately.
