Preparation

Step 1

1. In small cup, combine walnuts, thyme, and peel. In shallow bowl, lightly beat eggs. Sprinkle fish with salt and pepper. Dip fish in egg, then into walnut mixture, coating completely; place on wire rack to dry slightly.
2. Warm a large heavy skillet over medium heat for 3 minutes. Increase heat to medium-high, add oil. When oil starts to sizzle, add fish, skin side up. Cook 3 minutes, shaking pan occasionally to keep fillets from sticking. Turn fish; cook 3 minutes. Turn off heat, but leave fish in skillet to finish cooking.
3. Meanwhile, in small bowl, combine mayonnaise, pickle, lemon juice, and dill. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve with warm fish.
