Categories main-dish

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

1 pink grapefruit
1 tangerine
1 blood orange or regular orange
Olive oil, for drizzling
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup roasted and salted pistachios without shells, such as Wonderful® Pistachios No Shells
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
Four 4- to 6-ounce skinless cod fillets (you can also use halibut, sole or any white fish)
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Using a small knife, remove the peel, pith and outer membrane of the grapefruit, tangerine and orange. Working over a bowl, slice each into segments; remove the seeds. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
In a food processor, pulse the pistachios and garlic salt until the mixture resembles small pebbles. Transfer to a shallow dish.
Season both sides of the fish fillets with salt and pepper. Use a pastry brush to coat the top side of each piece of fish with the Dijon mustard. Gently press the mustard-coated side of the fillets into the pistachio mixture. Transfer them pistachio crusted-side up onto the prepared baking sheet.
Bake until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork, 10 to 12 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillets. Transfer to a serving plate and top with the citrus salsa. Drizzle with olive oil and season with more salt and pepper before serving.

Tips:

Use a good quality cod fillet. Fresh or frozen cod can be used, but make sure it is thawed before cooking.
To make the pistachio crust, use unsalted pistachios. This will prevent the crust from being too salty.
If you don't have a food processor, you can crush the pistachios by placing them in a plastic bag and hitting them with a rolling pin.
Be sure to press the pistachio crust firmly onto the cod fillets. This will help it to adhere and prevent it from falling off during cooking.
The cooking time for the cod will depend on the thickness of the fillets. Cook until the fish is opaque throughout and flakes easily with a fork.
Serve the pistachio-crusted cod immediately with your favorite sides.

Conclusion:

Pistachio-crusted cod is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The pistachio crust adds a nutty flavor and a crispy texture to the cod, while the lemon-herb butter sauce adds a bright and flavorful touch. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
