This is my favourite recipe for oven baked crusted fish fillets. I never really measured amounts, so the ratio herbs-parmesan-nuts as well as the total amount is an educated guess. I've so far used all kinds of nut mixes, you can even add in some ground sesame seeds. It's great with salad, but also with spinach, and I've also made it on the side of oven baked vegetables.
