You know you should be eating more fish, right? This recipe is mild, easy, and delicious. I used flounder but you can use any thin fish fillets. I’ve always loved fish coated with nuts, but it’s a little labor intensive and sometimes the coating doesn’t stick. This recipe eliminates those issues by simply sprinkling the nuts on the fish before serving. Simple fix. I don’t know why I never thought of it.

I mentioned this recipe a couple posts ago when I made magically delicious orange and avocado salad. The recipe came off the back of a package of frozen flounder. It was so good, I bought the exact same fish again and decided to share the recipe. I said it before, but I want to mention again that it’s good to check out the sustainability and health rating of fish before buying. The Environmental Defense Fund has a great resource for checking up on fish.

Almond baked flounder
Recipe by Orca Bay Seafoods, with tips by Destination Belly

Serves 2

Ingredients
 
10 ounces thin flounder fillets (or whatever kind of fish you prefer)
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon pepper
Juice of 2 limes
1 clove garlic, crushed (I used 3)
Minced green onion (I used 3 from my garden)
⅛ cup olive oil
¼ cup almonds, chopped or sliced
1 tablespoon butter (I used lard)
 
Instructions

  1. Heat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
  2. Arrange fish in a shallow baking pan. Season with salt and pepper.
  3. Blend together lime juice, garlic, and olive oil and pour over fish.
  4. Bake for 8-10 minutes. Sprinkle with green onions half way through the process (or at the end of cooking if you forget, like I did the first time I made it).
  5. Fish is cooked when it becomes opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
  6. Sauté almonds in butter/lard until golden brown. Serve fish with almonds sprinkled on top.

Thanks for posting this recipe as it is no longer on their website. I made the flounder and really liked it. I think I will try your salad also!
