Cashew Crusted Alaska Rockfish

Method

Preparation and Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Couscous

    In a pot, bring 1.5 cups of water to a boil. Add couscous and a pinch of salt. Remove from heat, cover, and let it sit for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork and stir in golden raisins.

  2. 2

    Make the Cashew Crust

    In a food processor, blend raw cashews until finely ground. Mix with panko breadcrumbs, salt, and pepper in a bowl.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Fish

    Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Rinse the rockfish fillets and pat dry. Dip each fillet in the beaten egg, then coat with the cashew mixture.

  4. 4

    Bake the Fish

    Place the coated rockfish fillets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Drizzle olive oil over the top. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the fish is cooked through and the crust is golden.

  5. 5

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In a skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add diced red bell pepper and seasonal vegetables. Sauté until tender, about 5-7 minutes.

  6. 6

    Prepare the Sauce

    In a small bowl, mix capers with a little olive oil and lemon juice (optional).

  7. 7

    Serve

    Plate the couscous, add sautéed vegetables, and top with cashew crusted rockfish. Drizzle caper sauce over the top and enjoy!
