Great! Used a food processor to crumble the pecan and spices and added a little panko bread crumbs. Reduced salt by half. Fish was crispy on the outside and moist and delicious on the inside. Should also work well for salmon.

I used this on Swai with roasted butternut squash and it was so SO good! Only coat one side of the fish or you’ll run out of crust.
Michelle Moore
This was delicious! And as someone who has been cooking for just under 1 year, I found it relatively easy to make. I made a few small changes. Instead of regular flour, I used Almond flour. And based on others’ comments here, I only used used 1/2 tsp of salt, and added 1/2 tsp of Old Bay in place of the other half. Also based on others’ comments here, I used 1/4 cup melted butter in place of the egg.

Loved it! I used Italian bread crums instead. I put pesto sauce and capers as a topping with a side of artichoke hearts.
Brendan Vasquez
Tasted pretty good but think the topping overpowered the fish. It was very pretty on the plate, thank you for sharing.
Robert Rios
This was excellent! I did make a few substitutes. I Dipped the fish in egg and then covered it in coconut flour. Afterwards I covered it with the pecan topping and drizzled butter and lemon on top. Mine required about 16min to cook. It was restaurant quality.

Love this! Substituted panko for bread crumb. Mixed egg with 1/4c low fat milk. I used 10 oz of fish and barely had enough pecans. I added additional 1 tsp. garlic to the panko. I didn’t add any salt but next time will try 1/2 tsp. It was even better the next day.

I used Article Char in place of trout. Excellent! Used leftover on crackers the next night for an appetizer.
Andrew Harrell
I followed the review recommendations and used panko instead of flour, and butter instead of egg. I also added parmesan. I used a baster to put the butter on and drizzled the panko then the seasoning mix. I hate dirtying extra dishes!!! Came out GREAT!!
Kathleen Wilkerson
Excellent meal….easy to make….rated 11 by my husband…excellent to taste.
Raymond Campos
Great basic nutty blend! I used butter to coat the fish, no egg or flour and my husband and I loved it. Kids were not as thrilled, but didn’t complain. (One isn’t a nut fan.)

Will be making this again. A bit less salt next time.
Erin Smith
too much salt.! cut it in half
Joseph Williamson
My husband said solidly mediocre even hough he likes pecans and trout separately. I liked it, but didn’t love it.
Margaret Moss
My guests loved this! Cut the salt in half, it still savory and delicious.
Mary Smith
I usually have to ‘smother’ my fish with lemon and tartar sauce… left the flour out of recipe. It was so good!!! Definitely a new family favorite!!!
Brandon Jackson
I made this today with fresh redfish. Butter instead of egg. Delicious! And so quick and easy!
Jill Richardson
Made no changes-and we love it!
Edward Carey
Very good and will make again! ‘Followed others’ suggestions and substituted panko crumbs for the flour.
Jasmine Sutton
This was a hit! The pecans made it so nice, the fresh rosemary is a must, throw out the sprigs when done if you wish but do not leave them out for this one to work. Thanks so much for sharing this fantastic recipe!
