For an extra layer of flavor, toast the almonds lightly before mincing. Beurre blanc is a delicate sauce; keep the heat low and whisk constantly to prevent separation. Fresh bread crumbs provide the best texture for the topping. If using store-bought, pulse them briefly in a food processor to achieve a coarser crumb. Serve with a side of roasted asparagus or a simple green salad for a complete and balanced meal.
