Halibut With Pine Nut and Parmesan Crust image

This recipe was printed in our local paper. I tried it last night and had to share it! Halibut caught on longlines from certain regions may be sustainable according to seachoice.org, however, a better choice such as land farmed rainbow trout or Alaskan pollock would probably also be tasty!

Time 25m

Yield 4 filets, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

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

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.
