Crispy Black Sea Bass with Almond Brown Butter "Almondine"

A simple yet elegant dish to impress that special someone. 

This recipe uses "brown butter" which I absolutely adore....it seems to add an element of mystery to a dish...and is a wonderful sauce to add to your repertoire....

Brown butter is quite easy to make, so it is well worth learning.   All you need is a sturdy saucepan, a heat proof spatula, and some unsalted butter....try it with your next fish dish, or simply on some pasta or veggies.

enjoy!

 

Method-

1 black sea bass fillet, cut into 2 portions

1 tblsp wondra (or flour)

2 tblsp unsalted butter

1/4 c almonds, sliced or other favorite

fresh parsely, chopped

lemon, juiced

-lightly dust your fish with the wondra on both sides , then sear skin side down, press the fish with a spatula to keep it from curling & to ensure a very crisp skin. 

(about 5 minutes)

then flip your fish & turn the pan off (for a perfectly cooked filet)-

-meanwhile start to brown your butter in a separate smaller saute pan, stir until it becomes a golden color & has a nutty smell- add your almonds & swirl your pan one last time, add your fresh parsley & Lemon juice

-put each filet on your plate, skin side up, and spoon butter almond sauce over.......

wow-what a simple, yet succulant dish!

enjoy!
