PECAN-CRUSTED FISH WITH CITRUS MEUNIèRE
One of my first memories of New Orleans was gathering the pecans off the ground at the naval base where my father was stationed, then sitting around a table with my family at night, watching Adventures in Paradise and shelling the seemingly bottomless pile. We had nutpicks, silver utensils with curved sharp tips, for digging out the tiny pieces of shell trapped in the crevices of each nut meat-talk about tedious! But I was always proud to have the cleanest and choicest halves to offer up for my mom's approval. I was surprised when I went to France to cook at the jazz festival in Nice and learned that I had to bring my own pecans to make pecan pie (the nuts are not indigenous there)! It followed, then, that I would use local nuts to create this New Orleans rendition of the more classic Trout Amandine.

Steps:
- Season the fish with salt and pepper. Place the pecans, flour, thyme, orange zest, and cayenne in a food processor and pulse until well blended but not powdery. Transfer the pecan mixture to a plate. In a shallow bowl or pie plate, whisk together the egg and milk. Dip the fish into the egg mixture, then into the pecan mixture. Press to coat the fillets.
- Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat, and when hot but not smoking, add the fish. Reduce the heat to medium or medium-low and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side. Remove to a platter or plates and keep warm while you make the sauce.
- Spoon finished sauce over fish. Serve immediately.
- Melt the butter in a pan and let it foam and turn golden brown. Swirl the pan to see the milk solids on the bottom. When it is nice and brown, pour in the juices and swirl the pan to mix. Add the parsley, season with salt, pepper, and a few drops of hot sauce, and swirl.
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.)

Tips:
- Choose a firm-fleshed white fish such as cod, flounder, or sole for this recipe.
- To ensure the fish is cooked evenly, use a fish spatula to gently flip it over halfway through cooking.
- If you don't have almond flour, you can make your own by grinding almonds in a food processor.
