For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a pinch of cayenne pepper to the pecan mixture. If you don't have panko breadcrumbs, regular breadcrumbs will work in a pinch, but the texture will be slightly different. Serve with a squeeze of lemon juice for added brightness. Thawing the rockfish completely before cooking will ensure even cooking and a flakier final product. Adjust the amount of Old Bay seasoning to your preference. If you prefer a richer flavor, substitute half of the butter with olive oil.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil or parchment paper, then grease with cooking spray. (5 minutes)

StepPlace thawed rockfish fillets on the prepared baking sheet and pour melted butter evenly over each fillet. (2 minutes)
03
StepIn a medium bowl, mix together pecans, panko bread crumbs, and seafood seasoning until well combined. (3 minutes)
04
StepSprinkle the pecan mixture evenly over the buttered rockfish fillets, gently pressing the mixture into the top of each fillet to ensure it adheres. (3 minutes)
05
StepBake in the preheated oven until the fish flakes easily with a fork, approximately 20 minutes. (20 minutes)
06
StepTurn on the oven's broiler. Broil for 1 to 2 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning the crust, until golden brown. (2 minutes)
