PECAN CRUSTED FLOUNDER RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F and make sure fish is defrosted if using frozen.
• In a bowl, whisk eggs until smooth in a bowl.
• Put ground nuts on a large plate.
• Dredge each piece of fish in egg and then dip in the ground nuts. Nut mixture will not stick as well as flour and this is ok. You should have some leftover nut meal after lightly coating the fish.
• Carefully place each piece in a large baking dish.
• After all fish is in dish, top with any remaining ground nuts and pat down.
• Pour melted butter or ghee over fillets.
• Put fish into preheated oven and bake 15-20 minutes or until cooked through and starting to flake.
• While cooking, prepare salad by washing spinach and lettuce and topping with desired toppings: pumpkin seeds, nuts, feta cheese, olive oil, and homemade dressing of choice.
• Serve and enjoy!

PECAN-CRUSTED FISH FILLETS

Steps:

• Mix pecans, bread crumbs and lemon peel in shallow bowl. Beat egg and milk with wire whisk or fork in another shallow bowl.
• Cut fish into 4 serving pieces. Sprinkle both sides of fish with salt and pepper. Coat fish with egg mixture, then coat well with pecan mixture, pressing slightly into fish.
• Heat oil in 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add fish. Reduce heat to medium-low. Cook 6 to 10 minutes, turning once carefully with 2 pancake turners, until fish flakes easily with fork and is brown. Serve with lemon wedges.

PARMESAN-PESTO CRUSTED FLOUNDER

Steps:

• Combine the bread crumbs and parmesan cheese and set aside.
• Saute the garlic and shallot until translucent in the olive oil, and add to bread crumbs and parmesan mixture.
• Spray fillets lightly with pam on one side, turn over and spread a thin layer of pesto on other side.
• Press the bread crumb mixture gently onto the fillets (both sides).
• Broil in oven for about 3-4 minutes each side, or until fish flakes easily and crumb mixture is golden.
• Serve with Honey Balsamic Portabello Mushroom Sauce and enjoy!

FLOUNDER FILLETS WITH CHOPPED PECANS

Steps:

• Sprinkle the flounder fillets on both sides with salt and pepper to taste.
• With a fork or a wire whisk, beat the egg with the water and soy sauce.
• Place the chopped nuts on a flat dish. Dip the fillets one at a time into the egg mixture until well coated. Remove the excess. Then dredge the fillets in the chopped nuts. Pat them firmly so they are evenly coated.
• Heat one tablespoon of the vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. When hot, add as many fillets as will fit without crowding. Saute for a total of about 2 minutes, or until lightly browned on both sides. Do not overcook. Cooking time will vary with the thickness of the fillets. Add more oil as necessary. Transfer fillets to a warm serving plate or platter. Keep warm. Cook the remaining pieces.
• When all the fillets are cooked, wipe the pan clean with paper towels. Add olive oil and butter. Cook until butter foams and starts to brown. Add lime juice and pour the mixture over the fish. Sprinkle with coriander and serve immediately.
