Ingredients

2 white fish fillets, about 6 oz. each

3 T pine nuts

2 T Parmesan Cheese

1/4 tsp. finely minced garlic

1 tsp. basil pesto

1 1/2 T mayo

Directions

Preheat oven or toaster oven to 400F/200C. Spray individual casserole dishes with non-stick spray or olive oil Remove the fish fillets from the refrigerator and let them come to room temperature while the oven reheats. Use a large chef’s knife to finely chop the pine nuts and mince the garlic. Mix together chopped pine nuts, Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, basil pesto, and mayo. Use a rubber scraper to spread the crust mixture evenly over the surface of each fish fillet. Pile it on so all the crust mixture is used. Bake fish 10-15 minutes, until fish is firm to the touch and crust mixture is starting to lightly brown. Serve hot.
