QUICK AND EASY PECAN-CRUSTED FISH FILLETS RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Place the pecans in a food processor and pulse until they are finely chopped. Do not over-process or you will end up with pecan meal or pecan butter.
• Add the finely chopped pecans and the panko crumbs to a shallow dish or pie plate and stir to combine. Set aside.
• 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.
• Evenly spread a thin layer of the mayonnaise mixture on all sides of the fillets.
• 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.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Combine the pecans and bread crumbs in a food processor. Process until they are coarse crumbs then transfer to a shallow dish. Place the flour in a shallow dish.

Place the skillet in the oven and bake for 10 minutes or until the fish flakes easily with a fork. Transfer the fish to a serving platter and keep warm. Wipe out the skillet and add the remaining butter to it. Cook over high heat until the butter starts to brown, stirring constantly. Stir in the lemon juice and parsley.
