1/4 cup sliced almonds
1 teaspoon fresh thyme
4 teaspoons olive oil

Preheat oven to 400 °.
Place muffin pieces, almonds, and thyme in a mini food processor; pulse until coarse crumbs form. Heat oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add crumb mixture to pan, and stir to coat with oil; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook 3 minutes or until golden, stirring occasionally.
While crumbs toast, arrange fish fillets on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet; spread 1/2 teaspoon mayonnaise over each fillet.
Divide crumb mixture evenly over tops of fillets, patting lightly. Bake at 400 ° for 8 minutes or until fish is done.
