998. SHARK AMANDINE with BACON

yields 4 servings


1/2 cup slivered almonds
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons parsley, chopped
6 tablespoons melted butter
1 tablespoon grated lemon rind
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
4 (6 - 8 oz) shark fillets
4 tablespoon sherry
freshly ground pepper
1/2 lb bacon; fried and crumbled
4 green onions; chopped
Lemon wedges

Lightly brown the almonds in the butter, add parsley, butter, lemon rind, and juice. Set aside. Rub both sides of the fillets with the sherry and place on an oiled broiler pan. Sprinkle with pepper. Spoon some of the butter mixture over each fillet. Broil for 5 to 10 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillets. Turn over, spoon on more butter sauce and continue broiling until done. Remove to a serving platter and sprinkle with the almonds, bacon, and green onions. Garnish with lemon wedges.
