- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/3 cups finely chopped unsalted peanuts
- 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- Lime wedges, as an accompaniment
- Peel the bananas and cut them lengthwise into 1/4-inch-thick slices.
- In a large ovenproof skillet heat 2 tablespoons of the butter and the oil over moderately high heat until the foam subsides, saute the banana slices for 1 minute on each side, or until they are golden, and transfer them with a spatula to a plate.
- Pat the fish dry and sprinkle it with the cumin and salt and pepper, to taste.
- Have ready in 1 shallow dish the egg beaten with the salt, in another shallow dish, the peanuts.
- Dip each fillet in the egg mixture, letting the excess drip off, and dredge it in the peanuts.
- To the skillet add the remaining 2 tablespoons butter, heat it over moderately high heat until the foam subsides, and in it saute the fillets for 3 minutes.
- Turn the fillets, top them with the banana slices, and saute them for 2 minutes more.
- Drizzle the fish with the lime juice, transfer the skillet to the middle of a preheated 450 degree oven, and bake the fish for 5 minutes.
- Transfer the fillets with a spatula to 4 heated plates and serve them with the lime wedges.
