How to Make Herb Crusted Fish Fillets

  1. Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F).
  2. In a food processor, combine 1/2 cup pine nuts, 1/2 cup rolled oats, 1/4 cup chopped fresh herbs (parsley, thyme, and chives recommended), and pulse until finely chopped. Add 1 cup breadcrumbs and pulse to combine.
  3. Place 1/2 cup all-purpose flour and 2 large beaten eggs into separate shallow bowls.
  4. Season red snapper fillets (700g, skin removed) with salt and pepper.
  5. Dredge each fillet in flour, shaking off excess. Dip in the egg, ensuring it's fully coated. Finally, press the herb breadcrumb mixture firmly onto each fillet.
  6. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large non-stick frying pan over medium heat until shimmering.
  7. Cook fish for 3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crisp.
  8. Transfer the fillets to a wire rack placed over a baking sheet.
  9. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Cooking time will vary depending on the thickness of the fillets. Check frequently to avoid overcooking.
  10. Serve immediately with your favorite sides, such as oven-baked fries, lemon wedges, baby spinach, mashed potatoes, or steamed vegetables.
