1. To make the almond sauce, preheat an oven to 350°F (180°C). Spread the Almonds on a baking sheet and place in the oven until toasted and fragrant, 8-10 minutes. Let cool. 2. Place 1/4 cup (1 1/4 oz/37 g) of the almonds aside to use for garnish. Using a food processor fitted with the metal blade or a nut grinder, finely grind the remaining Almonds, being careful not to overgrind to a paste. Set the ground nuts aside. 3. In a saute pan over medium heat, warm the olive oil. Add the onion and saut? until tender but not browned, about 8 minutes. Add the Paprika, Garlic, ground almonds, bread crumbs and the saffron, if using, and saut? for 3 minutes longer. Add the Tomatoes and stock or wine and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened, 5-8 minutes. Season to taste with Salt and pepper. Remove from the heat and set aside. 4. If using the peas, bring a saucepan three-fourths full of water to a boil. Add the peas and boil until barely tender, 3-6 minutes. 5. Raise the oven temperature to 450°F (230°C). Sprinkle the fillets on both sides with salt and Pepper and place in a single layer in a baking dish. Spoon the sauce over the fish, add the peas, if using, and bake in the oven until the fish is opaque throughout, 10-12 minutes. Garnish with the reserved toasted almonds and the Parsley or mint. Serve at once.
