Ingredients

Directions

  1. Heat oven to 400°. In an ovenproof skillet with a lid, heat 2 tablespoons oil over medium-high heat. Add the potatoes, 1 teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon pepper. Cook the potatoes until golden, stirring occasionally, about 8 minutes.
  2. Cover skillet, transfer to oven, and roast until potatoes are crisp-tender, about 15 to 20 minutes. Add the asparagus; roast, uncovered, until tender, about 10 minutes.
  3. Meanwhile, place the almonds on a baking sheet and toast in oven until lightly browned, 4 to 6 minutes.
  4. In a shallow bowl, combine the flour, 1 teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon pepper. Lightly dredge fillets.
  5. In a nonstick skillet, heat 2 tablespoons oil over medium-high heat. Cook half the fish until opaque throughout, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate and cover with foil. Repeat with remaining oil and fish.
  6. Increase heat to high and add the wine, parsley, and almonds to skillet. Bring to a boil and cook for 1 minute, then add the butter, swirling skillet until butter melts. Spoon over the fish and serve with the potatoes and asparagus.

    Turnips

    Although the turnip has been grown for more than 4,000 years and was one of the first foods to be cultivated in Europe, it is currently underappreciated: It keeps well, takes to almost any cooking method, and has a subtly flavored, tasty flesh.
