ingredients
1/4 cup thinly sliced garlic
1 teaspoon minced fresh thyme
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
2 tablespoons whole wheat bread crumbs
1 teaspoon minced fresh chervil
4 (6-ounces each) tilapia or red snapper fillets
1 teaspoon minced fresh tarragon
1 teaspoon minced fresh oregano
2 lemons
directions
Preheat the oven to 275 degrees F.
Toss the garlic with the salt and place on a nonstick baking tray. Roast for 30 to 35 minutes until dry.
In a small food processor, puree the garlic with the bread crumbs and herbs. Keep in a sealed container in a cool area until ready to use.
Lightly dredge both sides of the fish fillets with the garlic-herb puree. Spray a nonstick skillet with canola oil spray. Cook the fish over medium-low heat, 3 to 4 minutes on each side. Check the center of each fillet to see if it is cooked through. If the fillets are thick, they can be finished in a 350 degrees F oven for several minutes. Serve with 1/2 lemon on each plate.

Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.
Keeping a can of frozen orange juice concentrate in the freezer means you can make more than just orange juice. Try it in a variety of orange-flavored recipes.

The end result of the recipe wasn't bad but I'm marking it down because of the method. I love the idea of the roasted garlic, but the way of doing it just didn't work well. The garlic never really got to the consistency I believe was needed. When you blend it with the bread crumbs it turned into a gooey mess. There was no way to "dredge" the fish in it. I spread it on. That said, the fish tasted good when done, but the presentation wasn't as nice as I think it could have been. I'd roast the garlic as a whole head (or cheat and buy pre-roasted garlic) which produces a much creamier texture.
