Pesto Almond Crusted Flounder

Ingredients
1 lb. wild caught flounder or tilapia
4 Tbsp. of pesto (homemade or store bought)
almond slices 
4 Tbsp. Panko (optional)

Directions
Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees
Line a baking sheet with tin foil and lightly butter or oil to prevent sticking. Lay flounder fillets onto baking sheet. Spread 1 Tbsp. of pesto over each fillet. I LOVE pesto so this is a lot of pesto. You could easily cut the pesto in half. 
Sprinkle almond slices and Panko (optional) on top of the pesto. If this is before a competition I omit the Panko (still delicious!), otherwise I put it on. It adds extra crunch and is amazing. Regular bread crumbs are not the same! 
Bake for 8-10 minutes. 
Switch to broil for an additional 2-5 minutes until the edges are golden brown.
