This is an easy, nutty and tasty fish recipe made with Zaatar, pumpkin seeds and crushed hazelnuts. The herbs and spices in most Zaatar recipes are just a perfect pair to white fish while the nuts along with the seeds creates a light crust to the fish without covering it completely, keeping it moist and tender.
You can serve it next to fish rice and tahini or just next to a green salad. You can also serve it next to oven-roasted Brussels sprouts with added hazelnuts.
