Ohhh are you in for a TREAT! This recipe will work with basically any mild white fish – as well as just about any tree nut (like walnuts, pecans, and pistachios).
Serve this with a side of sweet potatoes and your favorite veg.
TIP: Grind the oats in your blender or food processor.
Almond-Crusted Fish
(serves 4)
- ¼ cup (60 g) Dijon mustard
- Salt & pepper to taste
- ½ cup (60 g) raw almonds, chopped
- 2 Tbsp ground oats
- ¼ cup (24 g) chopped parsley (fresh)
- 4 5 oz (140 g) fish filets (flounder, haddock, cod, sole, etc.)
Preheat your oven to 400ºF/200ºC and prepare a baking sheet by coating it with cooking spray or parchment paper (or both).
In a small bowl, whisk together the mustard and 1-2 dashes each of salt and pepper.
Set aside. In another small bowl, mix the chopped almonds, oats, parsley, and another 1-2 dashes of salt.
One by one, brush both sides of each fish filet with the mustard sauce and then dredge both sides in the nut mixture. It may help to “mush” the nuts into the fish to make sure they stick.
Place the filets on the baking sheet and bake for 15-18 minutes, until the fish is cooked through.
Serve with your favorite veggies!
