Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces orange roughy fillets
- 1 cup walnuts
- 0.5 cup breadcrumbs
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 as needed nonstick cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray.
In a food processor, combine the walnuts, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, and fresh parsley. Pulse until the walnuts are finely chopped and the mixture is well combined. Transfer to a shallow dish and set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper to form a marinade.
Pat the orange roughy fillets dry with paper towels and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Brush both sides of each fillet generously with the marinade.
Press each fillet into the walnut mixture, coating it evenly on all sides. Gently press the coating onto the fish to ensure it adheres well.
Place the coated fillets back onto the baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and the walnut crust is golden brown.
Remove from the oven, garnish with additional parsley if desired, and serve warm. Pair with steamed vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
