A white fish dish baked with the crust made of walnuts giving it a crunchy and tasty texture.

The Chief taster tells me that the walnut crust kept the fish moist and loved the flavour as it took him back to the Middle East with the nutty and herb taste. This is a great way to "jazz up" a piece of white fish and easy to make. Ground some nuts, throw in some herbs, dip the fish in egg, roll in the nuts, bake and voila! Simple!

Any white fish will do (according to the Chief Taster...I am vegetarian so I rely on him for feedback for anything involving meat or fish!). It makes a great alternative to "breaded" fish fillets and I bet this would be nice for chunks of fish...kinda like fish fingers, but a tastier version! You could mix the herbs up a bit too, just keep the walnuts in though.. Have a play and let me know!
