Almond Crusted Fish with Coconut Oil

Fran and Jamie have been whipping up some pretty healthy meals lately. Here is another one we made just the other night using coconut oil again.

We started off with four nice haddock fillets, some whole wheat bread crumbs, almonds, 2 eggs, and of course the coconut oil.

Here is what we did:

• Use about 3/4 cups of whole almonds chopped in a food processor or your blender.
• On serving platter spread out the whole wheat bread crumbs and mix in the chopped almonds.
• In bowl crack and beat 2 large eggs
• Add 5 or 6 tablespoons to a frying pan; we used an electric Dutch oven set on low enough to melt the coconut oil making sure it is enough to coat the bottom of the pan.
• Dip the fish in the egg and then the coating of almonds and breadcrumbs.
• Turn the setting on the Dutch oven up to 350 degrees.
• Now cook the fish for about 6 minutes per side or longer depending on the thickness.

We served this with rice and Brussel sprouts for a very healthy meal. This was so good I was looking for more after it was gone.

As always Thanks for stopping by, I sure hope you enjoyed.

Pan Fried Fish Fillets

 My good friend George gave me some fresh Crappie fillets from Lake Chautauqua. So I decided to make these Pan Fried Fish Fillets.

George is an avid fisherman, he fishes the lake, and Allegheny River all year long. These were caught while George and his son were ice fishing this year.

Crappie is a North American freshwater fish in the sunfish family. Crappies are known to be one of the best-tasting freshwater fish, because of their diet.

I would have normally broiled these fillets, but George suggested; trying them pan-fried. So here is how I pan-fried these fillets to perfection.

These fillets were very easy to make and so delicious, served with a wedge of lemon and rice to make a great meal. If you don't have a friend like George, just use your favorite fresh fish fillets.
