Here's what I'm making tonight.  Instead of using flour to bread the fish, I am just going to sautee it in oil. 


 






3/4
cup flour


salt & freshly ground black pepper

1 1/2
lbs fish fillets

2
tablespoons butter, divided

2
teaspoons olive oil, divided

1/4
cup slivered almonds

1/4
cup drained capers

1
dash lemon juice

 





  1. Mix flour, salt and pepper.
  2. Coat fish in flour mixture, shaking off the excess.
  3. In a large nonstick skillet, melt 1 1/2 tsp butter in 1 tsp of the oil.
  4. Cook the filets in batches over medium heat 3 to 4 minutes per side or until golden crisp; turning once.
  5. Transfer to a plate and cover with foil to keep warm.
  6. Repeat for each batch adding additional oil and butter as needed.
  7. Add remining 1 Tbsp butter and the almonds to skillet.
  8. Cook 2 minutes or until golden.
  9. Add capers and lemon juice cooking 1 minute or until heated through.
  10. Pour sauce over fish and serve immediately. Some say to double the sauce.

You need to be sure that your pan is really hot before putting the fish in.
