1. Dredge flesh side of fish in seasoned flour and shake off excess.
2. Dip floured side of fish into egg wash.
3. Put fish into nut topping flesh side down. Press down on fish to insure
a good coating.
4. Refrigerate fish for at least one hour before sautéing.
5. In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter, and allow it to
cook until it becomes nutty brown and fragrant. When the butter stops foaming,
that is a clue that it is about to turn into brown butter. Be careful not to
burn. It is very easy for the butter to turn into black butter and you do not
want this. Remove butter from heat and reserve.
6. Heat a large sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add enough clarified
butter or peanut oil to cover the bottom of the sauté pan with a thin
film of fat. Add the fish crust side down and allow it to get lightly golden
brown. Turn fish over carefully and place the pan in a 350 degree oven to finish
cooking the fish, 6-8 minutes.
7. Place the brown butter over low heat. Add lemon juice to taste. Add Parsley
and season with salt and pepper.
8. When ready to serve, pour sauce over and around fish.
