Pan Seared Tilapia With Almond Browned Butter And Snow Peas - cooking recipe

Ingredients

3 cups snow pea pods, trimmed
4 (4 -5 ounce) skinless fresh tilapia fillets
sea salt
fresh ground pepper
1 teaspoon all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup almonds, coarsely chopped
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, snipped

Preparation

In a large saucepan, bring lightly salted water to boil.
Add pea pods. Cook for 2 minutes. Drain and set aside.
Meanwhile, season fish with salt and pepper on one side; sprinkle with flour.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat.
When the pan is hot (a drop of water should sizzle or roll) remove from heat and add olive oil, tilting pan to coat with oil.
Return pan to heat and add fish (if necessary, cook fish half at a time).
Cook fish for 4 to 5 minutes or until it is easy to remove with spatula.
Gently turn fish and cook for 2 to 3 minutes more or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork.
Arrange peas on a serving platter; arrange fish on top of peas.
Reduce heat to medium.
Add butter to skillet. When butter begins to melt, stir in almonds.
Cook for 30 to 60 seconds or until butter is melted and nuts are lightly toasted (do not let butter burn).
Spoon butter mixture over fish fillets.
Sprinkle with parsley.
