Almond Crusted Great Lakes Whitefish
Serves 4
- 11/2 – 2 lb. Great Lakes whitefish fillet
- 1/2 cup almonds
- 1/4 cup panko crumbs
- mayonnaise
- 2 T olive oil
- salt and pepper
Pre heat oven to 375º. In a food processor, pulse almonds with panko crumbs until coarsely chopped.
Cut fillets into 4 portions. Coat fillets with light coating of mayo. Cover fillets with almond crumb mix, pressing mix into meat side of fillet. Season with salt and pepper.
Heat ovenproof pan over high heat. Add olive oil and when oil is sizzling hot add fillets skin side up. After 1 minute flip and pop in the oven for another 5-7 minutes or until fish is just opaque in the center.
Baking option: Instead of pan searing some people prefer to bake the fish. Simply bake at 350º for 5 minutes. Then click up to broil to brown for another 1-3 minutes or until fish is just opaque in the center.
