- 6 fresh cod steaks/filets (1/3 to 1/2 of a pound each)

- 1/3 of a pound of hazelnut powder
- a few crushed hazelnuts

Progression
1. Prepare 3 dishes : 2 teaspoons of flour in the first one, 1 beaten egg mixed with 1 teaspoon of olive oil in the second one and hazelnut powder in the third one.
2. Salt the cod filets and coat them on both sides successively in the 3 dishes (after the first one, tap the fish filets to get rid of the excess of flour).
3. Heat a frying pan with little butter and 1 olive oil teaspoon and when melt and slightly brown, cook the fish during 5 minutes on each side (carefully check that it does not burn). This way of cooking is called "à la meunière" in French.

Serve the fish in the middle on nice dishes and its sauce with the crushes hazelnuts all around. 'Bon appétit' !
