Almond and Cornflake Crusted Flat Fish

This recipe can be made with any flatfish such as flounder, sole, etc. This week my fish share was dabs. To accompany the fish, I sauteed garlic in olive oil, then added chard, covered and gently steamed until soft. In a separate pan I sauteed the chard stems chopped fine and added a little Aleppo Pepper for a little kick. Serve with a wedge of lemon.

Ingredients:

• 2 lbs flatfish filets
• Milk (approximately 1 cup)
• 3 - 4 cups unsweetened corn flakes, crushed fine in a food processor
• 1/2 cup almonds, crushed fine
• Seafood seasoning (make your own or use your pre-made one)
• 2 eggs
• 1 stick (1/2 cup) melted butter

Directions:

1. Put fish in a glass bowl and cover with milk. Cover and refrigerate for about 1/2 an hour.
2. Preheat oven to 450F
3. Add seasoning to your cornflakes and put in a shallow dish.
4. Beat eggs in a medium sized bowl.
5. Melt butter in a small saucepan on stove.
6. Spread some olive oil in the bottom of glass baking dishes (I needed the equivalent of two 9x13 inch dishes for my 2 lbs of fish).
7. Remove each piece of fish from the milk, letting excess drip off. Dunk it in the egg, then in the cornflake crumbs.  Place in prepared dishes.
8. Drizzle melted butter over each piece of fish.
9. Bake for about 15 minutes or until the fish is flaky.
