Hazelnut-Crusted Halibut with Apple Salsa

HAZELNUT CRUST
3/4 cup toasted, skinned hazelnuts
1/8 tsp dry mustard
1/2 tsp kosher salt
1/4 tsp cayenne
1 tbsp lemon zest
1 tsp fresh thyme leaves

FISH AND SALSA
4 Pacific halibut fillets
3 tbsp melted unsalted butter
3 tbsp roasted hazelnut oil
2 tbsp minced shallots
1 3/4 cups chopped apple
2 tbsp lemon juice
2 tsp Dijon mustard
1/2 tsp chopped fresh thyme leaves
1/4 tsp kosher salt
1/4 tsp pepper
Pinch of cayenne

1. Preheat oven to 425°. Make crust: Whirl ingredients in a food processor until nuts are finely chopped.
2. Make fish: Brush halibut with butter, pat nut mixture all over fish, and set on a greased baking sheet. Cook just until fish is opaque in center, 10 to 15 minutes.
3. Make salsa: Heat oil in a medium frying pan over medium-low heat, add shallots and apple, and cook until slightly softened, about 2 minutes; remove from heat. In a small bowl, whisk together lemon juice and remaining ingredients; stir into apple mixture. Serve halibut with apple salsa and sprinkle with a little more thyme.
