Whiting In Parmesan Coat And Pesto Sauce

Admittedly, I never liked spaghetti with pesto sauce, but when I tried pesto chicken, I just couldn't get enough of the creamy rich sauce, and wondered if it would suit fish as well. Here is the result: it tasted great!





What you need: (1 serving)

* 1 whiting fillet
* flour
* 1 egg
* breadcrumbs
* 2 handfuls of grated parmesan
* salt&pepper
* 2 tbsps olive oil
* 1 handful of fresh basil
* optional: pine nuts
* 1-2 tbsps light cream

In a plate, mix the breadcrumbs with 1 handful of grated parmesan, in another, beat the egg. Remove the fishbones from the fillet (if there are any), season with salt and pepper, coat it first with flour, then egg and finally the breadcrumb-cheese mixture.

For the pesto sauce, mix the washed basil leaves, the rest of the grated parmesan, the olive oil, the pine nuts (as much as you like) and the cream with a blender shaft,, then season with salt and pepper.

Heat some oil in a pan and fry the fillet on both sides until crispy. Take it out and keep it warm. Remove the oil from the pan and add the pesto. Stir well and reduce heat quickly. Serve hot and enjoy. :)
