Fish with Nut Crust

To prepare this delicious recipe, we start with the crust that will give a unique flavor to the fish. We will use 6 serious nuts, which we will chop finely. These nuts will add a crunchy texture and a special taste. In a bowl, we combine the chopped nuts with 2 tablespoons of breadcrumbs, which will contribute to the crunchiness of the crust. For an extra flavor, we add grated lemon zest, and if you are fans of the sweet-sour taste, feel free to add a little grated orange zest as well. This fresh mixture will provide a pleasant contrast with the fish.

We continue with a tablespoon of mustard, which will help stick the crust to the fish, but will also add a slightly spicy flavor. We add a tablespoon of olive oil, which will give a nice shine to the crust and enhance the flavors. Don’t forget to season with salt, pepper, and a pinch of nutmeg, which will add a warm and aromatic note.

For the fish, the choice is essential; you can opt for salmon fillets, cod, or any other preferred fish. After preparing the pieces of fish, we brush them with mustard all over the surface. We sprinkle the nut and breadcrumb mixture on top, ensuring it is evenly distributed. We place the fillets in a greased baking dish with olive oil and put them in the preheated oven at a moderate temperature. We cook until the fish becomes tender and flakes easily.

To complete this dish, we prepare a bed of finely julienned carrots that we place on the plate. The carrot adds a sweet note and vibrant color. On top, we drizzle a few drops of dressing made of lemon, olive oil, salt, and a bit of rosemary for an aromatic accent. White and green asparagus, boiled or lightly sautéed, will be added as a garnish, providing a crunchy texture and an elegant appearance.

To finalize this culinary picture, we add a few halved cherry tomatoes, which will bring a color contrast and a fresh taste. Finally, don’t forget to add a few slices of lemon for an extra acidity and an attractive look. This recipe not only looks good, but its taste will delight any taste buds. Enjoy with pleasure!
