Almond Fish Fingers

Recipe Ingredients

1 1/2 lbs	681g / 24oz	White fish fillets, such as orange roughy or halibut
1/2 cup	31g / 1.1oz	All-purpose flour
		Salt - to taste
		Freshly-ground black pepper - to taste
1		Egg
1/4 cup	59ml	Milk
1 cup	93g / 3.3oz	Whole blanched almonds - finely chopped
2		Vegetable oil - (or more) - for frying
		Herb Sauce
1/2 cup	118ml	Reduced-fat mayonnaise
1/2 cup	118ml	Reduced-fat sour cream
1/2 cup	55g / 1.9oz	Mixed chopped fresh herbs (parsley, chives, tarragon, thyme, chervil)
1 tablespoon	15ml	Lemon juice
		Salt - to taste
		Freshly-ground black pepper - to taste

Recipe Instructions

For the sauce, combine the mayonnaise, sour cream, herbs and lemon juice in a small bowl and stir to mix. Add salt and pepper to taste, cover and refrigerate until needed. (Makes about 1 1/2 cups)

Cut the fish fillets crosswise into 1-inch strips. Put the flour on a plate with salt and pepper and stir to mix. In a shallow bowl, whisk the egg with the milk and a pinch of salt. Put the ground almonds in a third shallow dish.

Heat about 2 inches of oil to 375 degrees in a deep-fryer. Dust the fish strips with the seasoned flour, turn to thoroughly coat and allow excess to drip off. Coat the fish with ground almonds, shaking off excess, then put in the hot oil.

Fry the fish strips, turning once or twice as they cook, until golden brown, 2 to 4 minutes. Drain on paper towels and keep warm in a low oven while you fry the remainder.

Arrange the fish fingers on small individual plates with small bowls of sauce alongside.
