Parmesan Herb-Crusted Fish


This simple Parmesan herb-crusted fish recipe takes six ingredients and transforms it into a nutritious main dish. Serve this lean fish with some sautéed vegetables (e.g. pan seared Brussels sprouts) and you’ve got a healthy, evening meal. 

Ingredients:
Serves Two 
8 ounces white fish fillets
1/4 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
1/2 tablespoon butter
1/2 teaspoon oregano
1/2 teaspoon thyme
1/2 teaspoon rosemary 

Method:
1. Lay fish skin side down on a baking sheet.
2. In a small bowl, toss together the Parmesan, oregano, thyme, and rosemary.
3. In a second small bowl, melt the butter in the microwave (about 10 seconds).
4. Brush butter on the upright side of the fish. Sprinkle evenly with the Parmesan and herb mixture. 
5. Turn your grill/broiler to high heat. Put fish on a grill/broiler rack about 4-5 inches under the flame. Let grill/broil for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown and fish has reached an internal temperature of at least 145 degrees F. If you don’t have a thermometer, flake the fish with a fork to see if it is done.

Herbs ... can be so wonderful to use, these "fragrant plants whose leaves (and sometimes stalks) are used in cooking to add flavour to dishes. Different cuisines rely on different varieties of herb, depending on which plants grow native or are cultivated in that country:
For example, basil is synonymous with Italian food, while coriander is widely used in Indian and South-east Asian dishes. The leaves of many herbs can be dried and used as a substitute for fresh herbs, but the flavours will not usually be as pronounced. The seeds of some herbs, such as coriander, can be dried, ground and used as spices. The recipe above uses a mix of oregano, thyme and rosemary - a lovely mix.

I never met a fish I didn't like. :) This recipe sounds terrific.

I'm learning to be more adventurous with herbs and spices in my old age. It allows me to be a lot more creative, and I've really been enjoying it. Last night, I used sriracha for the first time. (Thank goodness, I only used half the amount called for in the recipe!)

Have a super weekend.

I always forget parmesan - thanks for reminding! In the freezer I have a lot of basil, parsley etc. Not as good as fresh ones but home grown though!

We eat a lot of fish but have yet to make it with a crust like that. It sounds delicious and is definitely on the to do list.
