DIRECTIONS

  1. Place fish and lemon juice in large resealable bag. Refrigerate 20 minutes to marinate, turning bag occasionally.
  2. Place ¾ cup flour in shallow dish. Whisk eggs and milk in medium bowl. Combine Fisher® Almonds, remaining ¾ cup flour, panko, salt, pepper in another shallow dish.
  3. Heat 1 inch of oil in large skillet on medium-high heat. Remove fish from marinade; discard marinade. Coat fish in flour, dip in egg mixture, then coat in almond mixture, gently pressing and turning to completely cover fish. (Discard any remaining breading mixtures.)
  4. Cook fish in hot oil 2-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown, flaky inside, and the internal temperature reaches 145°F. Drain on paper towel-lined plate. Season with additional salt and pepper.
