Preheat oven to 425.

Cream butter, basil, parmesan, nuts, garlic, salt, and pepper flakes together in a food processor. Spread the butter onto a sheet of plastic wrap. Wrap the plastic around the butter and form a log, chill until ready to use.

Brush fillets with melted butter and season with salt and pepper. Dust with bread crumbs, pressing them into fillets to adhere.

Serve each fillet with a tablespoon of Pesto Butter and tomatoes.
