Tilapia with Almond Butter

Tilapia with Almond Butter




Ingredients

3 cups snow pea pods, trimmed

4 4- to 5-ounce fresh skinless tilapia fillets or other white fish

Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

1 teaspoon all-purpose flour

1 tablespoon olive oil

2 tablespoons butter

1/4 cup sliced almonds



Directions

1. In a large saucepan bring lightly salted water to boiling. Add pea

pods. Cook for 2 minutes. Drain and set aside.



2. Meanwhile, season fish with salt and pepper; sprinkle with flour.

Cook fish in hot oil for 4 to 5 minutes or until it is easy to remove

with a spatula. (If necessary, cook fish half at a time.) Gently turn

fish and cook for 2 to 3 minutes more or until fish flakes easily when

tested with a fork. Place peas on serving plates; arrange fish on top of

peas.



3. Reduce heat to medium. Add butter to skillet. When butter begins to

melt, stir in almonds. Cook for 30 to 60 seconds or until nuts are

lightly toasted (do not let butter burn). Spoon butter mixture over fish

fillets.



4. Makes 4 servings
