Pecan-Coated Halibut Nuggets

Diana Rattray
Feel free to dip the tops and sides of larger skin-on fillets in the pecan and bread crumb mixture, and then bake for about the same amount of time.

Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 pounds halibut fillets, skin removed, cut in 1-inch chunks
  • salt and pepper
  • 1/2 cup Creole mustard
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise, regular or light
  • 1 1/4 cups panko bread crumbs, or fresh bread crumbs
  • 2/3 cup chopped pecans
  • several sprigs fresh parsley
  • 2 to 3 tablespoons butter, melted

Preparation:

Sprinkle the halibut pieces with salt and pepper. In a medium bowl, combine mustard and mayonnaise. Add fish and stir to coat well.

In a food processor, combine bread crumbs, pecans, and parsley; process until crumbs are fine. Put crumbs in a shallow bowl or plate; coat fish pieces thoroughly. Place on a buttered baking sheet. Drizzle each nugget with a little butter or put the melted butter in an oil sprayer and spray each nugget with a small amount of butter (you'll use much less butter this way). Bake at 450° for about 12 minutes, or until the center of a nugget is opaque when checked.
Serves 4.
