"A friend regularly supplies us with a fresh catch of fish," notes Nancy Zimmerman of Cape May Court House, New Jersey. "In this quick and easy recipe, sesame seeds add crunch and a tasty coating to the fillets."

Ingredients

2 teaspoons spicy brown or horseradish mustard
2 teaspoons tomato paste
1/2 teaspoon dried tarragon
1/4 teaspoon salt
4 sole or orange roughy fillets (6 ounces each)
1/4 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup sesame seeds
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Directions

In a bowl, combine the mustard, tomato paste, tarragon and salt; spread on both sides of fillets. Place buttermilk in a shallow bowl. In another shallow bowl, combine sesame seeds and flour. Dip fillets in buttermilk, then coat with sesame seed mixture. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat; fry fillets for 3-4 minutes on each side or until fish flakes easily with a fork.
