Categories     Food Processor     Fish     Nut     Bake     Quick & Easy     Low/No Sugar     Pistachio     Summer     Gourmet

Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup shelled pistachios (not dyed red; 4 ounces)
1/2 cup packed fresh basil leaves
2 tablespoons minced shallot
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
6 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
6 pieces arctic char fillet (1 to 1 1/4 inches thick) with skin (6 ounces each)
1/2 tablespoon vegetable oil

Steps:

  • Coarsely chop pistachios in a food processor, then add basil, shallot, salt, pepper, and 6 tablespoons butter and purée until mixture forms a paste.
  • Preheat oven to 400°F.
  • Remove any bones from fish with tweezers and pat fish dry.
  • Heat oil and remaining 1/2 tablespoon butter in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over moderately high heat until foam subsides, then brown skin sides of fillets in 2 batches, 3 to 4 minutes per batch. Transfer fillets as browned, skin sides down, to a lightly oiled shallow baking pan (1 inch deep).
  • Divide pistachio paste among fillet pieces and spread evenly in a 1/8-inch-thick layer over top of each.
  • Bake fillets in middle of oven until just cooked through, 9 to 11 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose the right fish: For this recipe, a firm-fleshed fish such as cod, halibut, or salmon works best.
  • Make sure the fish is fresh: The fresher the fish, the better it will taste.
  • Use a good quality pistachio pesto: A homemade pesto will give you the best flavor, but you can also use a store-bought pesto if you're short on time.
  • Don't overcook the fish: Fish is delicate and can easily be overcooked. Cook it just until it is opaque in the center.
  • Serve the fish immediately: Baked fish is best served fresh out of the oven.

Conclusion:

This pistachio-baked fish is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The pistachio pesto adds a nutty and flavorful crust to the fish, and the lemon-herb butter keeps it moist and tender. Serve this dish with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.
