Baked Fish with Almond Crust

Ingredients

• 1 lb fresh, skinless white fish fillets (like cod or halibut), patted dry

• 1/2 cup finely ground almonds, toasted to golden perfection

• 2 tbsp rich extra virgin olive oil

• 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice, bright and tangy

• 1/2 tsp sea salt, finely crushed

• 1/4 tsp finely ground black pepper, aromatic and pungent

• 1 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped for a burst of color

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C), ensuring it’s fully heated for even cooking.

2. In a small bowl, mix the toasted ground almonds, olive oil, lemon juice, sea salt, and black pepper until well combined.

3. Place the fish fillets on a lightly greased baking sheet, spacing them evenly.

4. Generously spoon the almond mixture over each fillet, pressing lightly to adhere.

5. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the fish flakes easily with a fork.

6. Remove from the oven and let rest for 2 minutes before serving.
