Fillet Almondine

This was the first fish I ever cooked that my DH actually liked, rather than just tolerated. It's another one of my favorite "old" recipes that came from who knows where? Any kind of white fish (Sole, Cod, Tilapia) works well. I usually serve this with some kind of rice (maybe pilaf) and broccoli.
