Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Halibut fillets
- 2 cups Pretzels
- 0.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.25 cups Mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 2 tablespoons Whole-grain mustard
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Place the pretzels in a food processor and pulse until they are finely crushed, but still have small chunks for texture. Transfer to a shallow dish.
In a separate shallow dish, mix the flour, salt, and black pepper.
In a third shallow dish, whisk together the eggs, milk, and Dijon mustard until smooth.
Pat the halibut fillets dry with paper towels. Dredge each fillet in the flour mixture, then dip them into the egg mixture, and finally press them into the crushed pretzels, making sure to coat each fillet evenly on all sides.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add 3 tablespoons of olive oil. Once hot, carefully place the crusted halibut fillets into the skillet and cook for 2–3 minutes on each side until the crust is golden brown.
Transfer the seared fillets to the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 8–10 minutes, or until the halibut is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
While the fish is baking, prepare the mustard dipping sauce. In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, honey, whole-grain mustard, and lemon juice. Stir until well blended.
Serve the halibut hot with the mustard dipping sauce on the side.
