Fabulous! I loved the taste of almonds. In fact, I may increase the amount of almonds and decrease the bread crumbs next time. This is a super simple recipe and very tasty. Tip (and this was my fault entirely): I had gotten my pan too hot and the outside coating of the fish cooked too quickly and got overly brown (ie black in some spots). Just like scrambled eggs...patience is key. ;-) Thank you for a keeper! Next time I will slow down.

mmm YUM, 5 star all the way, the almond coating is lovely and crisp and delicious. I just used veggie oil and left out the butter. I'll be making this one again and again, thanks for sharing.
