FISH ALMONDINE
From when I was expecting my first baby, Alex, to well past the birth of my second child, Paige, I used to meet my grandmother, Ga-Ga, at Luby's Cafeteria in my hometown for lunch on an almost monthly basis. Luby's had a mega-long (it seemed like a football field, but probably wasn't quite) serving line of prefilled small plates holding such comfort foods as Jell-O salad, macaroni and cheese, Salisbury steak, fried chicken, mashed potatoes, and slices of pie as far as the eye could see. But for me, the single most memorable dish at Luby's was their gloriously consistent Fish Almondine. No matter which seventeen sides I selected (okay, sometimes it was eighteen), Fish Almondine was always the main course for me. This is my best attempt to re-create the Luby's magic. (I love and miss you, Ga-Ga.)

ALMOND-TOPPED FISH
A co-worker gave me this recipe, but I didn't try it until recently. What a mistake it was to wait! It's easier than dipping, coating and frying-and the flavor is outstanding. Once you've tried this tender fish, you'll never go back to fried. -Heidi Kirsch, Waterloo, Iowa

FISH WITH TOASTED ALMONDS
This is an easy dish that you can put on the table when you have friends coming around after a long day's work. The soft-fleshed cod (or any other meaty white fish) is offset by the crunchy almonds. Serve alongside a pile of fresh green beans, cooked until just tender, but still bright.

Steps:
- Place a large dry nonstick skillet over medium heat, and add almonds. Stir constantly until they are tinged with color. Take from heat, and transfer to a bowl to cool.
- Season both sides of the fish well with salt and pepper. Place the same pan over medium heat, and add butter and olive oil. When both begin to bubble, add cod fillets skin side up. Brown fish until opaque all the way through, turning once, 3 to 4 minutes a side. Transfer fish to a warm serving plate, skin side down.
- Reduce heat under pan to low, and add lemon juice. Stir to blend with butter and oil, then pour this sauce over fillets. Scatter parsley over cod, and scatter with toasted almonds. Serve immediately.

Tips:
- Choose fresh cod fillets. Look for fillets that are firm and white, with no signs of browning or spoilage.
- Use a good quality almond flour. Not all almond flours are created equal. Look for a flour that is finely ground and has a light, nutty flavor.
- Season the cod fillets liberally. Don't be afraid to use plenty of salt and pepper, as well as other spices and herbs that you enjoy.
- Don't overcrowd the baking sheet. Make sure that the cod fillets have enough space to cook evenly. If the fillets are too close together, they will steam instead of bake.
- Bake the cod fillets until they are cooked through. The best way to check if the cod is cooked is to insert a fork into the thickest part of the fillet. If the fork comes out clean, the fish is cooked.
Conclusion:
Almond baked cod is a quick and easy weeknight meal that is also healthy and delicious. The almond crust adds a nice crunch and flavor to the fish, while the lemon-herb butter sauce is light and refreshing. Serve this dish with roasted vegetables or a simple salad for a complete and satisfying meal.
