Time 21m

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 fish fillets (six ounces each, skinless, approximately one inch thick)
1 cup panko breadcrumbs
1 cup pecan pieces
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon creole seasoning (I like Zatarain's)
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/4 cup vegetable oil

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
  • Place the pecans in a food processor and pulse until they are finely chopped. Do not over-process or you will end up with pecan meal or pecan butter.
  • Add the finely chopped pecans and the panko crumbs to a shallow dish or pie plate and stir to combine. Set aside.
  • Add the mayonnaise and creole seasoning to a small bowl and stir to combine. Set aside.
  • Season both sides of the fillets with salt and pepper.
  • Evenly spread a thin layer of the mayonnaise mixture on all sides of the fillets.
  • Dredge each fillet in the nut mixture, making sure to coat all sides evenly.
  • Heat a large, 12-inch, non-stick oven-proof or cast-iron skillet over medium-low heat. Add the vegetable oil. When the oil is hot, add the fillets and cook for three minutes. Turn the fillets over and cook three minutes on the other side.
  • Transfer the skillet to the oven and let the fish finish cooking. This should take about five minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillets.
  • The fish is done when it is opaque and flakes easily when pierced with a fork.
  • Serve immediately.
