Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces white fish fillets (e.g., cod, tilapia, or haddock)
- 1 cup mixed nuts (e.g., almonds, walnuts, pecans, or cashews)
- 0.5 cup breadcrumbs
- 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 pieces lemon wedges (for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Chop the mixed nuts finely or pulse them in a food processor until they are crumbly but not powdered.
In a shallow bowl, combine the chopped nuts, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, parsley, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper.
In another shallow bowl, beat the egg lightly.
Pat the fish fillets dry with a paper towel. Dip each fillet into the beaten egg, ensuring it’s evenly coated.
Press each egg-coated fillet into the nut mixture, pressing gently to ensure the mixture sticks evenly on all sides.
Place the coated fish fillets on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle olive oil lightly on top of each fillet to encourage browning.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and the nut crust is golden brown.
Serve the Nutty Fish warm with lemon wedges on the side for an extra burst of flavor.
