Ingredients
Instructions
- Combine flour, seasoned salt, and paprika in a mixture.
- Roll fish fillets in the flour mixture and place in a well-greased baking dish in a single layer.
- Drizzle 2 tablespoons of melted butter over the fish portions.
- Broil about 4 inches from heat for 10 to 15 minutes or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
Tips & Substitutions
For extra flavor, consider adding garlic powder or onion powder to the flour mixture. If you don’t have seasoned salt, a mix of regular salt and your favorite herbs can work. Alternatively, try using panko breadcrumbs for a crunchier texture. Adding a sprinkle of lemon zest can elevate the dish further, enhancing the lemon juice's brightness.
Serving Suggestions
Serve Fish Amandine with a side of steamed vegetables or a fresh green salad for a light meal. It pairs beautifully with Oven 'Fried' Salmon Cakes for a seafood feast. You can also add a side of rice or quinoa to soak up any remaining butter and lemon sauce.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. When reheating, use the oven at a low temperature to maintain the fish's moisture and texture, ideally covering it with foil to prevent drying out. Avoid microwaving as it can make the fish rubbery.
