Pesto Almond Cod

Ingredients:

• 4 servings of cod filets

Pesto Almond Crust:

• ½ cup toasted almonds

• Juice of ½ lemon

• Zest of a lemon

• ¾ cups fresh basil

• ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil

• 2 garlic cloves

• Salt and pepper to taste

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

2. Place all the ingredients for the pesto almond crust in a high powered food processor or blender and pulse until the mixture forms a chunky pesto and the almonds have been chopped into smaller pieces. If the mixture is too thick, add more olive oil.

3. On a parchment lined baking sheet, place the cod filets.

4. Spoon the crust mixture over the top of the fish to form a crust, and press it down gently.

5. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the fish flakes with a fork.

6. Serve with lemon wedges.
