In medium
saucepan over medium heat, add diced bacon and
cook until crispy. Add leaks and stir
occasionally. Once leaks begin to cook, cover
saucepan and let cook for 10 minutes over low
heat, stirring occasionally. Remove lid from pan
and turn up heat, cooking off all excess water
that the leeks release. Once pan seems dry, stir
in cream and season with thyme and nutmeg. Place
lid back on the pan and set aside. |

Preheat oven
to 400 degrees F. Season each filet with salt
and pepper. Place egg in shallow dish and nuts
in a separate shallow dish. Dredge one side of
the fish in the egg, and then press egg washed
side of the fish in the nuts, making sure that
the nuts stick to the fish. Set the fish on a
plate. |

Place a
large oven-safe pan over medium heat; add oil
and place fish in pan nut side down. Cook for a
minute or two, just until the nuts start to
brown and cook onto the fish. Turn the fish
immediately and place pan in the oven. Cook fish
for 6 minutes, or until done. |
