How to Make Pickerel In Almond Butter Sauce

  1. Cut pickerel fillets into 6 equal serving pieces (approximately 4-6 ounces each).
  2. In a shallow dish, whisk together 1/4 cup milk with a pinch of salt and pepper. Dip each fillet in the milk mixture.
  3. In a separate shallow dish, combine 1/2 cup all-purpose flour with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Dredge each milk-dipped fillet in the seasoned flour, ensuring it's evenly coated.
  4. Heat 2 tablespoons of salad oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  5. Add the pickerel fillets to the hot skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Do not overcrowd the pan; cook in batches if necessary.
  6. Transfer the cooked pickerel fillets to a heated platter and keep warm.
  7. In the same skillet, melt 4 tablespoons of butter over low heat. Add 1/4 cup slivered almonds and stir constantly for 2-3 minutes, or until lightly toasted and fragrant.
  8. Remove from heat and stir in 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley and 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice.
  9. Pour the almond butter sauce over the pickerel fillets.
  10. Garnish with lemon wedges and extra parsley, if desired.
