My new favorite recipe

I've tried many new recipes in the past couple of years. This one is at the top of the list. It is easy and so delicious. It is Pecan-Crusted Fish.  Recipe follows.  Hope you will try it. You won't be disappointed.

4 fish filets- 6-8 oz. each.  I used tailapia
2 Tbsp. Honey-Dijon mustard
2 tsp. water
1 cup pecans

Heat oven to 400. Line a rimmed baking pan with non-stick foil. Finely chop pecans by hand or in a food processor. Spread the pecans out on a sheet of waxed paper or use a large plate. Put honey mustard in a small cup and stir in the 2 tsp. water. Brush one side only of the fillets with mustard mixture, then press fillets into the chopped pecans. Place on baking pan. Bake 10-14 minutes until pecans are lightly toasted and fish is just cooked through. Yum!  Per serving: 425 cal, 32 g pro, 7 g carb, 3 g fiber, 31 g fat (only 4 g sat fat) 100 mg chol, 188 mg sodium.
I haven't tried the mustard and pecans on chicken yet but I plan to.  Healthy and delicious.  Hope you enjoy!
You can also substitute other types of fish and other nuts. No other seasoning is necessary, the mustard adds lots of flavor. We serve ours with asparagus or another green vegetable.
