- Yields:

4 filets
- Serves:
- 4
ingredients
- 1⁄2 cup crushed pine nuts
- 4 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons fresh basil, chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 halibut fillets
- sea salt
directions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F.
- In a medium sized bowl, mix the pine nuts, Parmesan, basil, garlic, and olive oil.
- Place the fish filets on a baking tray (I used aluminum pie pans) skin side down. Salt the upper portions to your taste.
- Press the pine nut mixture onto the salted fish, patting it down to make it stick.
- Bake for 10-15 minutes or until the fish flakes with a fork and is opaque. Don't forget to scrape the brown crusty bits off the bottom of the pan - those are the tasty parts.
- I made this recipe for 2 using 2 fish filets and coating both sides of the fish with the mixture.

So basically, I cook two nights a week for a household of four adults including myself. Here are their dietary preferences:
Person #1) Eats no meat, but seafood ok.
Person #2) Eats no meat, seafood, eggs, cheese or fermented items.
Person #3) Dislikes veggies, ethnic foods, and dishes with a lot of sauce. No tofu (this makes feeding persons 1 and 2 very difficult). Loves meat.
Person #4) Dislikes cooked veggies (raw ok) and tofu. Dislikes onions and peppers of any kinds.
Usually I end up making a meat-n-potatoes dish one night a week to satisfy diners #3 and 4, since the no-meat rule of diners #1 and 2 is a dietary thing, not moral/ethical, so they are okay with me picking out chunks of meat from say, a stew, and replacing it with veggie meat in their plates. The other night I make something vegetarian - squash as a main dish or something with lentils and beans. As long as there's no tofu, diners #3 and 4 will eat it, albeit with little enthusiasm.
