Panko and Almond Crusted Halibut
 
Ingredients
  • 2 fresh halibut filets
  • 1 egg, lightly beaten
  • A couple tablespoons of flour
  • About a half cup of Panko
  • About a quarter cup sliced almonds, chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Butter and/or olive oil for browning
Instructions
  1. Rinse and dry the filets on paper towel. The Panko crust is just going on the top of the fish.
  2. Mix the chopped nuts with the panko, and place on a flat dish, dredge the top of each filet with flour and shake off the excess. Dip the top into the egg, then into the panko, giving a little pressure to make sure that it is well coated. It can sit for a short while to set, but you won’t want to do it too far ahead.
  3. When ready, heat the pan, and melt the butter, brown off the top of the fish only; you are just looking for color here since you will finish cooking it in the oven. Don’t over brown it; it will brown a little more in the oven.
  4. When you have a nice even color, place in a pan, crust up, in a 400 degree oven for about 4 minutes if it is a flat piece, 5-6 minutes if it is a thick piece. Serve immediately.
