Italian Fish

Italian Fish is probably not the first dish that comes to your mind when you think about Italian food.  But maybe it should be.  Italy is a country with thousands of miles of coast lines, many rivers, and more than just a few lakes.  So it would not be unreasonable to expect Italian fish recipes to be popular in a country that gave us Christopher Columbus.

How To Make Italian Fish

Ingredients

• 4 cod fillets, about 5 1/2 oz each
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 cup fresh whole wheat bread crumbs
• 1 large tablespoon of chopped walnuts
• The grated rind and juice of 2 lemons
• 2 fresh rosemary sprigs, stalks removed
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
• 1 garlic clove, crushed
• 1 small fresh red chile, diced
• 3 tablespoons walnut oil

Cooking Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 400F
2. Melt the butter in a large pan over low heat, stirring constantly.  Remove the pan from the heat and add the bread crumbs, walnuts, the rind and juice of 1 lemon, half the rosemary, and half the parsley, stirring until mixed.
3. Press the bread crumb mixture over the top of the cod fillets.  Place the cod fillets in a shallow foil-lined roasting pan and roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes.
4. Mix the garlic, the remaining lemon rind and juice, rosemary, and parsley, and the chile together in a bowl.  Beat in the oil and mix to combine.  Drizzle the dressing over the cod steaks as soon as they are cooked.
5. Transfer the fish to warmed serving plates and serve immediately.
