Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unseasoned bread crumbs
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced or pressed
  • 2 teaspoons dried oregano
  • 1 tablespoon grated lemon peel
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup toasted pine nuts
  • 1 egg
  • 1 1/2 pounds fish fillets
  • Olive oil

Method

  • In a blender or the bowl of a food processor, combine the bread crumbs, garlic, oregano, grated lemon peel, salt, and pepper, and process until well blended.
  • Add the pine nuts and process until they are evenly chopped.
  • Place the bread crumb mixture in a shallow bowl large enough to hold a single fish fillet.
  • In another bowl, beat the egg.
  • Dip each fillet into the beaten egg and then coat each side with the bread crumb mixture.
  • Place the breaded fillets on a piece of waxed paper or a plate.
  • Heat a large skillet and add about 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
  • On medium heat, cook the fillets for about 4 minutes for every 1/2 inch of thickness.
  • Turn the fish and cook on the second side for an equal amount of time.
  • If you need to cook the fish in batches, add more oil for each batch.
  • Serve something fresh and colorful on the side: Tomatoes & Onions with Mint (page 205), Broccoli Tomato Salad (page 204), or Broccoli Slaw (page 208).
