Almond and dill crusted fish

Almond and dill crusted fish is a delightful and healthy dish that combines the crunchiness of almonds with the fresh, aromatic flavors of dill and lime zest. This recipe is perfect for a quick weeknight dinner or a special occasion. The white fish, coated with a flavorful crust, bakes to perfection for a satisfying and nutritious meal.

Ingredients:

1/2 cup almonds
60g
1 tbsp lime zest
16g
1 tbsp dill
16g
1 tbsp butter
16g
salt & pepper to taste
1.50 lb white fish
680g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent the fish from sticking.
2. Prepare the Almond Mixture:
In a food processor, add the almonds and pulse until they are coarsely ground. You want them to be crumbly, not fully powdered.
3. Combine Crust Ingredients:
In a small bowl, mix together the ground almonds, lime zest, chopped dill, and softened butter. Season with salt and pepper to taste and mix until fully combined.
4. Prepare the Fish:
Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture. Place them on the prepared baking sheet.
5. Apply the Crust:
Evenly spread the almond and dill mixture over the top of each fish fillet, pressing down gently to adhere the mixture to the fish.
6. Bake the Fish:
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. The crust should be golden brown and crunchy.
7. Serve:
Carefully transfer the fish fillets to a serving platter. Garnish with extra lime zest and fresh dill if desired.
8. Enjoy:
Serve immediately with your choice of sides such as a fresh salad, steamed vegetables, or roasted potatoes.

Tips:

- Use fresh dill and lime zest: Fresh herbs and zest provide a more vibrant flavor compared to dried alternatives. Make sure to finely chop the dill and grate the lime zest just before using.

- Toast the almonds: Lightly toast the almonds in a dry skillet over medium heat before processing them. This will bring out their natural nutty flavor and make them extra crispy.

- Choose the right fish: Opt for a firm, white fish such as cod, haddock, or halibut. These types of fish hold up well to baking and provide a mild flavor that complements the almond and dill crust.

- Pat the fish dry: Ensure that the fish fillets are dry before applying the crust mixture. This helps the crust to adhere better and stay crispy during baking.

- Don't overbake: Bake the fish in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 15-20 minutes or until the fish flakes easily with a fork. Overbaking can result in dry fish, so keep a close eye towards the end of the cooking time.

With its combination of textures and flavors, almond and dill crusted fish is sure to become a favorite in your recipe repertoire. It's simple to prepare, yet impressive enough to serve to guests. Enjoy this delightful dish with a side of vegetables or a light salad for a complete meal.
