Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 4 filets barramundi about 6 oz each
- 1 cup pecans finely chopped
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs beaten
- 0.5 teaspoon salt or to taste
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper freshly ground
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest finely grated
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley chopped, for garnish
- 1 lemon cut into wedges, for serving
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a shallow dish, combine chopped pecans, panko breadcrumbs, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper.
- Dredge each barramundi filet in flour, shaking off the excess, then dip in beaten eggs, and finally press into the pecan mixture to coat evenly.
- Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add the fish filets and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, until golden brown.
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 10 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through.
- Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
