*Notes:
-If you have a little extra of fish that is very fresh, you can make a little side of sashimi! I put extra fish in freezer for a few minutes to get a bit more firm. Then sliced thin, squeezed fresh lime juice and a drizzle of olive oil over the top. Sprinkled with Trader Joes Chili Lime Seasoning and a little pink salt and a few very thinly sliced jalapenos. Viola! Delish!
-You could easily substitute for any other nut, pecans or almonds would be great! If you have a nut allergy, you can substitute with breadcrumbs.
-Asparagus or zucchini squash make a great and quick side to this dish. You can just add to your sheet pan, drizzle with olive, Himalayan salt and pepper, and cook for the same time along with your fish.
