1
Pour enough water into a saucepan to cover the fish fillets and boil for 5 minutes. When done, remove with a slotted spoon, arrange on a plate, and put the broth aside.

Saute the onion and bread cubes lightly in the oil, then remove the bread cubes with a slotted spoon and drain on kitchen paper.
3
Add the tomatoes to the frying pan, lower the flame and let simmer until all the tomato liquid has been absorbed (about 6-7 minutes).
4
Meanwhile, blend the almonds, bread, garlic, parsley and 2-3 tablespoons of water until a paste forms. Add it to the frying pan, season and stir.
5
Add at least 1 cup of the fish broth to the mixture to lighten the sauce. Then add the fish fillets and cook for another 2-3 minutes.

Keep basting the fish with the sauce.

Serve at once. Accompany with a rice.
