Ingredients
- 2 Tbsp flour
- 1/8 tsp each salt and ground red pepper (cayenne)
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup walnuts, toasted and finely chopped
- 4 1/2- to 1-in.-thick pieces (6 oz each) skinless halibut fillet
- SALSA
- 3 red or regular navel oranges, peel and white membrane removed, cut-in-chunks
- 3 Tbsp red onion slivers
- 2 Tbsp chopped fresh mint or cilantro
- 1 jalapeño pepper, seeded and minced
- 1 tsp cider vinegar
Directions
- Heat oven to 450°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with nonstick foil.
- Mix flour, salt and pepper on a sheet of wax paper. Beat egg white and 2 tsp water in a shallow bowl. Spread walnuts on another sheet of wax paper.
- Coat fish in flour mixture, dip in egg-white mixture then press into walnuts to coat. Arrange on pan.
- Bake 5 to 10 minutes until fish is barely opaque at center when tested with tip of knife.
- Meanwhile stir Salsa ingredients in a medium bowl to combine. Serve with the fish.
- Halibut and walnuts are good sources of omega-3 fatty acids, and oranges are rich in vitamin C, both of which may protect against heart disease.
- Serve with quick, healthy sides such as steamed or sautéed bagged mixed greens (like turnip and kale) and couscous.
