Chris Smisek’s Crispy Almond Baked Fish

You might know Chris Smisek by his nickname; Capt. Camo. Chris is a lifelong angler, longtime conservationist, and supporter of CCA TX. Here’s a hearty TSFMag “Thank You” for sharing this excellent recipe.

INGREDIENTS

Fish fillets: (red snapper-speckled troutredfish-drum-flounder-etc.) –

Skin-on, scales removed

Crushed potato chips – any brand will do, but not flavored

Low-salt seasoning – potato chips have plenty salt Shredded cheese – I like Havarti

Almond slices

PREPARATION

Place fillets on baking sheet coated lightly with olive oil cooking spray, skin side down, cover with crushed potato chips; any brand of chips will do. Place your favorite cheese on top of chips. I like shredded Havarti. Sprinkle with low-salt seasoning – potato chips have plenty salt. Cover liberally with almond slices. Place in oven preheated to 350°F and bake 10-12 minutes or until fillets are flaky. Switch oven to broil and continue cooking until almond slices begin to brown. ENJOY!
