This dish looks elegant, but it’s simple… and believe me, it’s super easy to prepare. I love the crunchy pecan crust, and I love that it’s achieved in the oven. Plus, I lined the baking pan with tin foil, so there was no messy pan to clean up afterwards.

You can serve the fish however you’d like, but atop the Roasted Red Pepper Coulis was fabulous. Topped with some micro greens for perfection! It’s one of my favorites.

Dip fish pieces into the egg to coat, and then into the pecans to cover completely.

If desired, turn the broiler on for a minute or two to brown the crust further…but be sure to keep an eye on it!
