Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.

- 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.

- Dredge each fillet in the nut mixture, making sure to coat all sides evenly.

- 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.
