Ingredients

• 4 (3/4 inch thick) orange roughy fillets, 6 to 8 oz. each
• 2 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice
• Salt and pepper
• 1 Tbsp. olive oil, divided use
• 1 clove garlic, pressed
• 1 to 2 large slices fresh bread, torn to equal 1 cup crumbs
• 1/2 cup loosely packed fresh basil leaves
• 2 Tbsp. chopped pecans

Directions

1. Heat oven to 375 degrees. Place fish fillets on a baking sheet with low sides and douse each with lemon juice, salt and pepper, and then drizzle only the tops with two tsp. of the olive oil.

2. In a food processor, mince garlic then add bread crumbs, basil and nuts, and process until coarsely chopped. Add remaining teaspoon of olive oil. Place equal amounts of crumb mixture on top of each fillet. Press gently to secure. Bake 15 to 20 minutes or until fish is firm but flaky and moist inside.
