Method

LUNCH ENTREE

1

Prepare and season fish

Pat dry the red snapper fillets. Season both sides with salt and black pepper. Lightly dredge each fillet in the flour, shaking off any excess.

2

Toast almonds

In a dry skillet over medium heat, toast the slivered almonds until golden and fragrant, about 4-5 minutes. Remove from pan and set aside.

3

Sear the snapper

In a large skillet, heat olive oil and 4 tablespoons butter over medium-high heat. When shimmering, add the snapper and sear 2-3 minutes per side, until cooked through. Transfer to a warm plate.

4

Make brown butter and aromatics

In the same skillet, add the remaining 2 tablespoons butter and cook until it browns and smells nutty, about 2-3 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook 30 seconds until fragrant.

5

Finish sauce

Deglaze with white wine (if using) and scrape up any browned bits. Stir in lemon juice and lemon zest; simmer 1 minute to reduce slightly.

6

Combine almonds and finish

Return the toasted almonds to the pan and toss to coat in the sauce. Add chopped parsley and remove from heat.

7

Plate and serve

Nestle the snapper back in the pan to warm through for 1 minute, then transfer to plates. Spoon almondine butter sauce over the fillets and garnish with extra parsley. Serve with lemon wedges.
