Preparation / Directions:


For the marinade: Combine all ingredients in a large, resealable plastic bag or glass baking dish. Add fish and seal bag or cover dish. Turn several times for marinade to coat fish completely. Let sit at room temperature for 1 hour, turning occasionally. For the sauce: Melt butter in a medium saucepan. Add parsley, ground pecans, lemon juice, scallion, nutmeg, and hot pepper sauce. Simmer on low for 1 minute. Add pecan halves, tossing well with mixture. Turn off heat until ready to reheat and serve. Grill fillets for 4 to 6 minutes or broil until fish is opaque. Serve each piece topped with pecan sauce. Comments: The flaky fish and crunchy pecans produce a delightful contrast of textures. Garnish with pansies and parsley fresh from the garden for a beautiful presentation.
