How to make Pistachio Crusted fish?

Making Crusted fish is straightforward. You need to follow our simple steps and ensure you have all the ingredients mentioned here:

Ingredients Needed

• 4 fresh fish fillets – (such as salmon, tilapia, or cod)
• 1 cup – shelled pistachios, finely chopped
• 1/2 cup – breadcrumbs
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Olive oil

Equipment you Needed

• Baking sheet or frying pan
• Mixing bowls
• Knife and cutting board
• Food processor or mortar and pestle

Step by Step Instructions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) if baking or heat a frying pan over medium-high heat if pan-searing.

Step 2

Just put the crushed pistachios, breadcrumbs, a little salt, and a little pepper into a bowl. Then, mix them all. It’s like making a special mixture that will go on the fish later.

Step 3

Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels and season them with salt and pepper.

Step 4

Dip each fillet into the pistachio mixture, pressing gently to coat both sides evenly.

Step 5

If baking, place the coated fillets on a lightly greased baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes or until the fish is cooked through and the crust is golden brown. If pan-searing, cook the fillets on each side for 3-4 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.

Step 6

Once done, remove the fish from the oven or pan and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.

My Tips & Recommendations for Perfect Pistachio Fish
