Fish fillets crusted with parsley and served with warm parsley sauce

hi..i made this delicious and very light fish for dinner last week..ive been tied up so wasnt able to post the recipe but better late than never...here it is!!!!!! i used basa but for all the people who have basa fish 
issues.......feel free to use any other fillet(white).....




..
Walnut Crusted Fish

Serves 4

Ingredients:

4 fillets of fish (what works best is basa, halibut, sea bass or black cod)

3/4 cup walnuts chopped

3/4 cup breadcrumbs*(i avoided this but im sure it would be tastier)

2 tbsp olive oil
3 tablespoon parsly leaves chopped


1 1/2 tbsp whole grain dijon mustard

1/4 cup grated parmesan

*Just as a side note here, how I make breadcrumbs is super easy and it avoids all the additives you find in the ones on the shelves in the grocery store. I set my oven at 200 and place 2 slices of whatever bread I have going into the food processor and chop it until it is as finely chopped as it’s going to get. Then I lay it out on a cookie sheet and bake for about 45 minutes. Then put the breadcrumbs back in the food processor and chop until they are a fine consistency.


method
1)Preheat your oven to 180 deg c. Add the breadcrumbs and the walnuts to a food processor and chop until the walnuts are finely chopped. Transfer to a bowl and mix in the olive oil, dijon and parmesan.

2)Make sure your fish is sliced into 4 pieces.
3)take the fillets n lighty sear in butter both sides.
4)Grease a baking dish and place the four pieces in it With your hands press the crust onto the top of 





each fish piece. Be generous and press the crust firmly.



5)Bake for approximately 15 minutes until a fork inserted in comes out very easily and crust us slightly golden.
