Hazelnut Crusted Sturgeon with Blackberry Barbecue Sauce
(Serves Two)
 
2 sturgeon filets
1 cup toasted ground hazelnuts

in the eggs, and then dredge them in the hazelnut-bread crumb
mixture.  Place the olive oil in a 12-inch saute pan. Add the filets
and cook over medium high heat, browning on both sides. Place the
uncovered pan in oven at 350 degrees for 15 minutes to complete
the cooking process.

over each filet. Additional sauce can also be served in individual
