Equipment
- Oven
- Baking sheet
- Parchment paper
- Food processor (for the pistachios)
- Mixing bowls
- Measuring cups and spoons
Ingredients
- 4 pieces White fish fillets
- 1 cup Shelled pistachios
- 1/2 cup Panko breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese grated
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp Paprika
- 1 tbsp Lemon zest
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- To taste Salt
- To taste Pepper
Instructions
Step 1 – Prepare the Pistachio Mixture
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a food processor, combine pistachios, panko, Parmesan, garlic powder, paprika, and lemon zest.
- Pulse until the mixture is finely chopped but not powdery.
- Transfer to a shallow dish.
- Tip: Don’t overprocess the pistachios; you want some chunkier bits for that extra crunch!
Step 2 – Prepare the Fish
- Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels.
- Brush each fillet with olive oil on both sides.
- Season with salt and pepper.
Step 3 – Crust the Fish
- Press each fillet into the pistachio mixture, coating it evenly on both sides.
- Place the crusted fillets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Step 4 – Bake the Fish
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
- Note: The exact cooking time will depend on the thickness of your fillets.
Notes
- For an extra golden crust, place the fish under the broiler for the last 2-3 minutes of baking.
- If you don’t have a food processor, you can chop the pistachios manually; just be prepared for a bit of effort!
