Walnut-Encrusted Grouper

Recipe

• 1 ½ pounds grouper fillet, cut into 4 serving-size pieces
• 1 cup toasted bread crumbs
• ¾ cup finely chopped walnuts
• ½ cup milk
• ½ cup flour
• ¾ teaspoon salt
• ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons butter, melted

Preheat the oven to 450° F.

Combine crumbs and walnuts in a shallow dish. Pour milk in another shallow dish and flour, salt and pepper in a third dish.

Dredge fish lightly in flour, then dip in milk. Dredge in the crumb-walnut mixture. Place fish in a lightly greased baking dish and drizzle with butter. Bake until outside is lightly browned and crispy, about 10 to 15 minutes or until done.
