Ingredients

• 4 pieces orange roughy fillets
• 1 cup walnuts
• 0.5 cup breadcrumbs
• 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 as needed nonstick cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray.

Step 2

In a food processor, combine the walnuts, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, and fresh parsley. Pulse until the walnuts are finely chopped and the mixture is well combined. Transfer to a shallow dish and set aside.

Step 3

In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper to form a marinade.

Step 4

Pat the orange roughy fillets dry with paper towels and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Brush both sides of each fillet generously with the marinade.

Step 5

Press each fillet into the walnut mixture, coating it evenly on all sides. Gently press the coating onto the fish to ensure it adheres well.

Step 6

Place the coated fillets back onto the baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and the walnut crust is golden brown.

Step 7

Remove from the oven, garnish with additional parsley if desired, and serve warm. Pair with steamed vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
