1 / 2 cup almonds, finely chopped (about 50 g)
2 tbsp (15 g) flour
1 egg, beaten

3 tbsp (45 ml) olive oil

Instructions

1. Season the halibut fillets with salt and pepper. In a shallow dish, combine the chopped almonds and flour. Place the beaten egg in another dish.
2. Dip each fillet into the egg, shaking off excess, and then press each side into the almond mixture to coat evenly.
3. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the crusted fillets and cook for about 4 minutes on each side, until the crust is golden brown and the fish is opaque.
4. Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for a fresh, zesty finish.
