Halibut With Pine Nut and Parmesan Crust

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup crushed pine nuts
• 4 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
• 2 tablespoons fresh basil, chopped
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 4 halibut fillets
• sea salt

Directions

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 425°F.

2. 2

   In a medium sized bowl, mix the pine nuts, Parmesan, basil, garlic, and olive oil.

3. 3

   Place the fish filets on a baking tray (I used aluminum pie pans) skin side down. Salt the upper portions to your taste.

4. 4

   Press the pine nut mixture onto the salted fish, patting it down to make it stick.

5. 5

   Bake for 10-15 minutes or until the fish flakes with a fork and is opaque. Don't forget to scrape the brown crusty bits off the bottom of the pan - those are the tasty parts.

6. 6

   I made this recipe for 2 using 2 fish filets and coating both sides of the fish with the mixture.
