A classic, with slightly tart sauce and cruncy almonds. I used small 4-oz fillets, which were a little small for the amount of sauce. I only needed about half the quantity of almonds called for here. Instead of breading the fish, I pan seared them, then added 2 tbl of flour after the deglacing, to make the sauce. This probably lost a little flavor from not browning the flour, but made a nice visual with the pink meat, white sauce, and green herbs.
