Grilled Fish with Almonds

Grilled Fish with Almonds - Quirky Cooking This is one of my most favourite ways to cook fish. It’s super easy, and very delicious. You can either use butter (YUM!) or coconut oil for a dairy free option. I use the grill pan of my oven grill for this recipe, but if you prefer you can use a cast iron pan, heated in the oven, melt butter in the pan, add the fish, and bake in hot oven (200C) for a few mins. The secret to not drying the fish out is to only cook it on one side, as the heat from the preheated pan will cook it from underneath as well as from above. A 2 cm (1 inch) thick piece of fish only takes 8 minutes to cook, a thinner one cooks in 4-5 minutes – don’t overcook! Note: You can find Fine sea salt and Aussie Kibble Pepper for this recipe in my online store!
