Pecan Crusted Fish With Citrus Meunière Food

QUICK AND EASY PECAN-CRUSTED FISH FILLETS RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.

• Add the mayonnaise and creole seasoning to a small bowl and stir to combine. Set aside.
• Season both sides of the fillets with salt and pepper.

• Dredge each fillet in the nut mixture, making sure to coat all sides evenly.
• Heat a large, 12-inch, non-stick oven-proof or cast-iron skillet over medium-low heat. Add the vegetable oil. When the oil is hot, add the fillets and cook for three minutes. Turn the fillets over and cook three minutes on the other side.
• Transfer the skillet to the oven and let the fish finish cooking. This should take about five minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillets.
• The fish is done when it is opaque and flakes easily when pierced with a fork.
• Serve immediately.

Transfer fillets to a warm serving plate or platter. Keep warm. Cook the remaining pieces.
