Working time approx. 20 minutes; Total time approx. 20 minutes

spicy fish with crispy Parmesan crust

Clean the fish and place it in a lightly greased baking dish. Grate the lemon zest and squeeze the juice. Blend both with olives, basil, garlic, almonds, anchovy, and olive oil. Season the mixture with salt, pepper, and honey, then spread it evenly over the fish fillets. Spread the freshly grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the fish. Place the baking dish in a preheated oven (180°C) for about 15-20 minutes (depending on the thickness of the fish fillet). Then turn on the broiler and bake for a few minutes until the crust is golden yellow. If you have any leftover lemon and basil mixture, it makes a great pasta pesto!
