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.)

- Then stir in 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
- Put the flour in a shallow dish and add a pinch each of salt and pepper. Stir to combine.
- Dredge both sides of the fish in the flour, shaking off any excess.
- Spread a generous tablespoon of mayonnaise over each piece of fish . . .
- And sprinkle the crumb mixture on top, pressing lightly to make sure it sticks.

PAN-FRIED FISH ALMONDINE
This is a simple and versatile recipe. It lends well to any type of white fish, such as: perch, tilapia, whitefish, halibut, etc. It might even work well with salmon, but I haven't tried that yet. I love the crusty, delicious almond coating. If you can't find Panko breadcrumbs, you could try regular bread crumbs. I like to serve this alongside wild rice and a nice salad for a simple and pretty healthy meal.

Steps:
- First make the almondine breading by placing Panko breadcrumbs, lemon zest, and sliced almonds into a food processor.
- Pulse until it reaches a fine consistency. *The breading adheres to the fish better this way.*.
- If applicable, debone the fish and remove the skin.
- Salt and pepper the fish, to taste.
- In a small bowl, mix eggs and water together to make an egg wash.
- Place flour in a shallow pan.
- Place the almondine breading in another shallow pan.
- Dredge each fish fillet through the flour, dusting off any excess, dip in egg wash; place in breading, coating both sides of fish. If you aren't going to fry these right away, store them in the refrigerator at this point.
- Preheat saute pan using medium heat.
- Add the butter and melt, being careful not to burn.
- Place fish in hot butter and cook on each side until golden brown, about 3 minutes on each side, which is an average time. Depending on how thick your fish is, you may need to either shorten or lengthen the time.
- Optional: Sprinkle chopped parsley on top of the fish before serving.
BAKED FISH ALMONDINE
This delicious fish is another of our favorites when I make it. I found this recipe in a Luby's Cafeteria free recipe cards dispenser at the cash register counter.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350ºF. In a small bowl, combine bread crumbs, almonds, salt and butter or margarine and mix well, (if it is necessary add additional butter, mixing well until crumb mixture begins to hold together.).
- Coat fish with flour, shaking off excess. Spread mayonnaise evenly over fillets and cover evenly with the crumbs mixture, lightly pressing into the fish fillets.
- Place them skin down in a baking pan large enough to hold in a single layer, (or use a baking pan with a low rack to hold fish above and the water under the rack.).
- Carefully pour water around the fish to about 1/8 inch depth and bake for about 15-20 minutes or until fish flakes when tested with a fork.
- Note: Take special care when pouring the thinnest possible layer of water around the fish, so don't wash away or wet the topping. This step helps to ensure that the fish cooks up moist and tender.

Steps:
- PREHEAT TO 350. COMBINE CRUMBS, ALMONDS, SALT AND BUTTER. COAT FISH IN FLOUR PUT IN BAKING DISH. SPREAD MAYO ON TOP AND SPRINKLE CRUMBLY STUFF ON TOP. BAKE 20 MINUTES.
Tips:
- Choose the best fish. For this recipe, a firm-fleshed fish like sole, flounder, or tilapia is ideal.
- Don't overcook the fish. Fish cooks quickly, so it's important to keep an eye on it so that you don't overcook it.
- Use a good-quality butter. The butter will add a lot of flavor to the dish, so it's worth it to use a good-quality butter.
- Don't crowd the pan. When you're cooking the fish, don't crowd the pan or the fish won't cook evenly.
- Serve the fish immediately. Fish is best served immediately after it's cooked.
