Hazelnut Crusted Halibut

Ingredients:

• ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
• ¼ cup hazelnuts
• ¼ cup seasoned bread crumbs
• 2 halibut fillets
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 tablespoon butter

Method:

1. Preheat oven to 260'c 
2. Pulse the hazelnuts and bread crumbs in a food processor until finely ground, but not ground into a paste. Pour onto a shallow dish. Season the halibut fillets on both sides with 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Gently press one side of the halibut fillets into the nut mixture, and set aside.
3. Heat the olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in an ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Place the halibut fillets nut-side-up into the skillet; cook until the halibut begins to brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Turn the fillets over, and place into the preheated oven. Bake, nut-side-down until the fish flakes easily with a fork. (about 5 minutes)
4. Serve with your chosen sides and enjoy!
