The original recipe is one that my parents have made for us for dinner for years. With several of us in the family needing to eat gluten-free, we created this savory GF version! Enjoy!
Cod Almondine
Servings 4
Ingredients
- 2 cups slivered almonds
- 3 T olive oil divided
- 4 cod filets
- 1 c almond flour
- 4 eggs
- salt & pepper to taste
Instructions
-
In a small cast iron pan, heat 1 T olive oil over medium-high. Add almonds. Saute 6-7 minutes until golden brown. Then set aside.
-
Meanwhile, heat 1 T olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high (depending on the size of your fish, you may need two pans)
-
Place flour on a large plate. In a separate shallow dish, whisk eggs lightly. Pat both sides of a piece of fish in the flour. Then dip in the egg mixture. Place fish in the pan. Repeat with other pieces of fish.
-
Allow fish to cook until browned on one side (~4 minutes). NOTE: It is key to err on the side of overcooking. Nothing kills this recipe like flipping the fish too soon and losing your coating in the pan!!
-
Add additional oil to the pan and flip fish, cooking for another 4-5 minutes.
-
Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Serve immediately topped with almonds.
