Walnut-Encrusted Snapper

Recipe

• 1 ½ pounds snapper fillets
• ½ cup flour
• ¾ teaspoon salt
• ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• ½ cup milk
• 1 cup toasted French bread crumbs
• 1 cup finely chopped walnuts
• 2 tablespoons butter, melted

Preheat the oven to 450° F.

Place flour, salt and pepper in a shallow dish (or on wax paper). Place milk in a another shallow dish. Combine crumbs and walnuts 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 brush lightly with butter, so that nuts are not moved. Bake until outside is lightly browned and crispy, about 15 minutes.
