Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

For Halibut:
4 (1 1/4-inch-thick) pieces skinless halibut fillet (about 6 ounces each)
1 cup whole milk
1/3 cup shelled pistachios (preferably Turkish), finely chopped
3 tablespoons cornmeal
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
For Spicy yogurt:
1 cup thick Turkish or Greek yogurt (8 ounces)
1/2 cucumber, peeled, seeded, and finely diced (3/4 cup)
2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
1 tablespoon finely chopped onion
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
2 teaspoons dried maras pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste

Steps:

  • Put fish in a shallow baking dish, pour milk over it, and chill, covered, turning over once, 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, stir together pistachios and cornmeal in a shallow bowl.
  • Remove fish from milk, letting excess drip off. Transfer to a plate and sprinkle all over with salt and pepper, then dredge lightly in cornmeal-pistachio mixture. Transfer to a clean plate as coated.
  • Heat oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then sauté fish, turning over once, until golden and just cooked through, 6 to 8 minutes total.
  • While fish cooks, stir together all ingredients for spicy yogurt.
  • Serve fish with spicy yogurt on the side.

This recipe is a fail. The pistachio crust didn't stick to the fish and the spicy yogurt sauce was watery.

I would not recommend this recipe. The pistachio crust was too salty and the halibut was undercooked.

This recipe is not worth your time. The pistachio crust was bland and the spicy yogurt sauce was too spicy.

I followed the recipe exactly and the fish came out dry. I'm not sure what went wrong.

I tried this recipe and while the pistachio crust was good, the halibut was a bit overcooked. I think I'll try it again with a lower oven temperature.

This dish was easy to make and very tasty. The pistachio crust added a nice crunch and the spicy yogurt sauce was a great complement to the fish. I would definitely make this again.

I made this recipe last night and it was a huge success! My family loved it. The pistachio crust was a unique and delicious twist on a classic dish. The spicy yogurt sauce was also a hit. I will definitely be making this again.

This recipe is a winner! The pistachio crust was easy to make and added a delicious crunch to the halibut. The spicy yogurt sauce was also a hit, with just the right amount of heat. I served this dish with roasted vegetables and it was a perfect meal

I'm not a big fan of fish, but this pistachio-crusted halibut changed my mind. The pistachio crust was so flavorful and crispy, and the halibut was cooked perfectly. The spicy yogurt sauce was the perfect finishing touch, adding a bit of heat and tan

OMG! This pistachio-crusted halibut recipe is a game-changer! The combination of flavors and textures is mind-blowing. The halibut is cooked to perfection, flaky and moist, while the pistachio crust adds a delightful crunch and nutty flavor. And the
