2 tablespoons bread crumbs
Salt and pepper to taste

1 tablespoon slivered almonds

FOR 2 SERVINGS:
3/4 pound red snapper fillets*
2 tablespoons milk

Salt and pepper to taste
2 tablespoons butter

Dip fillets in milk and then coat with bread crumbs which have been seasoned with salt and pepper.

Melt butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Saute fillets in butter until golden brown and fish flakes easily when tested with a fork. Remove fish to a heated serving plate.

Saute almonds in pan drippings and spoon over fish.
