Orange-Almond Trout

1 lb trout, salmon or other medium firm fish fillets, about 3/4 inch thick
1/4 c. butter
1/4 c. sliced almonds
1 med. onion, sliced
1/2 c. flour
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. paprika
1/8 tsp. pepper
2 oranges, peeled and sectioned (This is not the peel and section to eat as a snack, this is gourmet peeling and sectioning with a knife...here is a link if you don't know how: http://localfoods.about.com/od/preparationtips/ss/sectioncitrus.htm)

1. If fish fillets are large, cut into four serving pieces.
2. In a 10 inch skillet, melt butter over med. heat. Cook almonds and onion in butter, stirring occasionally, until onion is tender. Remove almonds and onion with slotted spoon; keep warm.
3. In shallow dish, mix flour, salt, paprika and pepper. Coat fish with flour mix. Cook fish in same skillet over med heat 6-10 mins, turning once, until fish is brown and flakes easily with a fork.
4. Top fish with almonds and onion. Garnish with orange sections.

Prep time: 10 mins
Cook time: 15 mins
Serves: 4

We liked this recipe a lot. However, we like spices so I added twice the amount of paprika and pepper that it called for, and I still didn't think it was enough. I also thought that it would be great if the fish had a little bit of a citrus flavor instead of just garnishing with oranges...Either way, it was really good and we will have it lots.
