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.)

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.
Tips:
- Use fresh fish fillets. This will ensure that your fish is tender and flaky.
- Season the fish fillets well. Salt and pepper are a good starting point, but you can also add other spices and herbs to your liking.
- Dredge the fish fillets in flour. This will help to create a crispy coating on the fish.
- Cook the fish fillets over medium heat. This will help to prevent the fish from overcooking and becoming dry.
- Serve the fish fillets immediately. This will ensure that the fish is hot and flaky.
Conclusion:
White fish fillets amandine is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The fish is tender and flaky, the sauce is creamy and flavorful, and the almonds add a nice crunch. This dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
