Pecan Crusted Roughy

I’m afraid that every week I am going to have a “this is what I really made” post. When I posted my menu plan, I  intended to make Herb Crusted Cod, but I didn’t check my pantry very well before I made my menu plan.  Then when I set out to make dinner I discovered I was missing several of the key ingredients. Time to improvise!

My family has ordered me to write down all improvised recipes, because many times I have thrown something together and they have loved it and then I can’t remember what I did. So I now bring my computer into the kitchen with me to jot down notes while I’m cooking.  I use Linda’s tip for cooking with a computer.

I am glad I took notes because it is the first fish recipe that everyone in the family loved. My daughter and I don’t care for fish, so we appreciated that the nutty flavor hid much of the fishiness. My husband and boys love fish and usually complain that my fish isn’t fishy enough. Even though this has a very mild fish flavor, they enjoyed the flavors of the pecans and herbs. Everyone agreed that they wanted this to become a regular on our menus.

Pecan Crusted Roughy Recipe

Ingredients:

  • 1 pound roughy (or other mild fish)
  • 1 tablespoon oil
  • ½ cup pecans, coarsely ground
  • 1 tablespoon parsley
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon thyme
  • ½ teaspoon rosemary

Directions:

  1. Preheat the oven to broil and line a broiler pan with foil.
  2. Combine ground pecans and spices in a large flat dish.
  3. Brush fish with olive oil.
  4. Dredge the fish through the pecan mixture.
  5. Place the fillets on the broiler pan and broil on each side for approximately 3 minutes.

    This looks delicious – I love the idea of a nut crust on fish, and the herbs you have used sound wonderful. I’ve pinned this to my Fish Recipes board on Pinterest 🙂

    Nut encrusted fish is a great way to go, the texture and flavor is delightful. I have always thought the benefit of having a menu plan was simply the plan itself, a guideline, cooking is far too creative to follow it too closely. 🙂

Welcome. I'm Alea!

On Premeditated Leftovers I share simple recipes made with whole foods, practical shopping tips, time saving techniques, and meal planning strategies. I also share tips for minimizing food waste, so more of the food that is purchased ends up on the table.

While volunteering as a budget counselor, I realized that food is the element of most people’s budgets where they have the greatest control. I set out to develop low-cost recipes from scratch to prove it’s possible to create delicious meals on a limited budget. Eating well while spending less is about more than just creating recipes using inexpensive ingredients; it’s about creatively combining ingredients so you don’t feel deprived and are inspired to stick to your budget.
