Almond-Crusted Catfish

• 6  U.S. Farm-Raised Catfish fillets
• 1/2 cup flour
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon pepper
• 2 tablespoons oil
• 3 tablespoons butter
• 1/4 cup slivered almonds
• 1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
• 2 teaspoons lemon juice
• Parsley sprigs and lemon wedges or slices, for garnish

 
Mix flour with salt and pepper. Dredge fillets in the flour. Heat oil in large, heavy skillet over medium heat. When oil is very hot, slide fillets in and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until easily flaked with a fork. Transfer fillets to a serving platter and keep warm.

Wipe skillet clean with paper towel, return to medium heat. Add 3 tablespoons of butter and melt. Add almonds and cook until they are light brown. Add zest and lemon juice and stir for 10-15 seconds. Pour sauce over fillets and garnish with parsley and lemon.
