PECAN CRUSTED CHICKEN
Steps:

- For the chicken: Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking pan with parchment paper and spray it generously with cooking spray.

- Whisk the eggs in another shallow bowl.
- Working with one piece of chicken at a time, dredge in the seasoned flour, then shake off the excess. Dip in the egg to coat and let the excess drip off. Add to the pecan panko mixture and turn to coat, lightly pressing so that the crumbs adhere. Transfer to the prepared baking pan.
- Spray the chicken generously with cooking spray and bake until golden brown all over and just cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes. Transfer to a platter and sprinkle with the parsley. Serve with the spicy, tangy ketchup on the side.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400°F and make sure fish is defrosted if using frozen.
- In a bowl, whisk eggs until smooth in a bowl.
- Put ground nuts on a large plate.
- Dredge each piece of fish in egg and then dip in the ground nuts. Nut mixture will not stick as well as flour and this is ok. You should have some leftover nut meal after lightly coating the fish.
- Carefully place each piece in a large baking dish.
- After all fish is in dish, top with any remaining ground nuts and pat down.
- Pour melted butter or ghee over fillets.
- Put fish into preheated oven and bake 15-20 minutes or until cooked through and starting to flake.
- While cooking, prepare salad by washing spinach and lettuce and topping with desired toppings: pumpkin seeds, nuts, feta cheese, olive oil, and homemade dressing of choice.
- Serve and enjoy!

Steps:
- Sprinkle the flounder fillets on both sides with salt and pepper to taste.
- With a fork or a wire whisk, beat the egg with the water and soy sauce.
- Place the chopped nuts on a flat dish. Dip the fillets one at a time into the egg mixture until well coated. Remove the excess. Then dredge the fillets in the chopped nuts. Pat them firmly so they are evenly coated.
- Heat one tablespoon of the vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. When hot, add as many fillets as will fit without crowding. Saute for a total of about 2 minutes, or until lightly browned on both sides. Do not overcook. Cooking time will vary with the thickness of the fillets. Add more oil as necessary. Transfer fillets to a warm serving plate or platter. Keep warm. Cook the remaining pieces.
- When all the fillets are cooked, wipe the pan clean with paper towels. Add olive oil and butter. Cook until butter foams and starts to brown. Add lime juice and pour the mixture over the fish. Sprinkle with coriander and serve immediately.

Tips:
- Fresh fish is the key to a successful dish. Look for flounder that is firm to the touch and has clear, bright eyes.
- Make sure to pat the fish dry before coating it in the pecan crust. This will help the crust adhere to the fish and prevent it from becoming soggy.
- Use a shallow dish for baking the fish. This will help the fish cook evenly and prevent it from drying out.
- Bake the fish until it is cooked through. The fish is done when it flakes easily with a fork.
- Serve the pecan-crusted flounder immediately with your favorite sides. Some popular options include roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.
Conclusion:
Pecan-crusted flounder is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The pecan crust adds a delicious nutty flavor to the fish, and the fish itself is cooked to perfection. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
