Halibut With Pine Nut Parmesan Crust Recipes

HALIBUT WITH PINE NUT & PARMESAN CRUST

Steps:

• 1. Salt and pepper both sides of the Halibut fillets. Lay on lightly oiled baking sheet. 2. Spread the Halibut fillets with the above pesto crust. Pat the pesto crust & press lightly to make it ahere. 3. If prepared an hour or so before baking - cover lightly with foil and refrigerate. Remove 15 min or so before baking to bring to room temp. BAKE: Preheat oven to 425F (220C). Bake in middle of oven for 10-15 minutes until fish is opaque all the way through and the pesto is lightly browned. (I left the foil on for approx. 10 min - then removed it for the balance of the baking time - then I turned the oven off And put the foil back on for approx. 5 min. and left it in the turned off oven My piece of fish was about ¾" thick sp you need to judge the baking time).

HALIBUT WITH PINE NUT AND PARMESAN CRUST

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425°F.
• In a medium sized bowl, mix the pine nuts, Parmesan, basil, garlic, and olive oil.
• Place the fish filets on a baking tray (I used aluminum pie pans) skin side down. Salt the upper portions to your taste.
• Press the pine nut mixture onto the salted fish, patting it down to make it stick.
• 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.
• I made this recipe for 2 using 2 fish filets and coating both sides of the fish with the mixture.
