SOLE ALMONDINE
Steps:
- Set a large nonstick saute pan over medium heat. Add the almonds and toast until golden brown, about 5 to 7 minutes. Season with salt and set aside.
- Return the pan to medium heat (if you have 2 pans you can work simultaneously at this point, i.e. 2 fillets per pan) and add a 2-count of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter to each pan.
- Put the flour in a shallow dish and season with salt and pepper, to taste. In another shallow dish, whisk together the eggs and milk and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Dredge the fillets in the seasoned flour, then dip them into the egg mixture. Allow some of the excess egg to drain off, then add them to the hot pan. Cook 2 pieces at a time. Fry for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes, then carefully turn the fish over to cook the other side. With a spoon, baste the fillets with the butter sauce. Repeat basting to ensure the fish remains moist. Once the other side is cooked (about 30 seconds) carefully remove the fillets from the pan to a serving platter. Repeat with remaining 2 fillets and a 2-count of oil and 1 tablespoon of butter. Once the fillets have been removed the pan, add the chopped shallots and gently saute over low heat until translucent, about 1 minute. Deglaze the pan with the white wine and finish with the lemon juice. Swirl in the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the parsley and season, to taste, with salt and pepper. To serve, spoon the sauce over the top of the fillets and sprinkle generously with the toasted almonds.

Tips for Cooking the Perfect Sole with Almonds:
- Choose the freshest sole fillets available. Freshness is key to ensuring the best flavor and texture.
- Use a combination of butter and olive oil for sautéing the sole. This will help to prevent the fish from sticking to the pan and will also add flavor.
- Season the sole fillets with salt and pepper before cooking. This will help to enhance the natural flavor of the fish.
- Cook the sole fillets over medium heat until they are cooked through. Do not overcook, as this will make the fish dry and tough.
- Top the cooked sole fillets with a sauce made from almonds, butter, and lemon juice. This sauce will add a delicious nutty flavor to the fish.
- Serve the sole with roasted vegetables or a side salad. This will make a complete and satisfying meal.
