Comments: In this recipe, albacore is coated with a mixture of ground, toasted almonds and bread crumbs which, when baked, creates a crunchy coating without the added oil of frying. This crunchy, slightly sweet coating enhances the delicate flavor of albacore, and cranberry sauce on the side adds a complimentary zing!
