Ingredients
  

  • 2-6 oz (170g) wild cod fillets
  • 2 tbsp unsalted pistachios, chopped
  • 2 tbsp panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 garlic, grated or minced
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • salt and pepper
  • 1 tbsp plain Greek yogurt, divided

Equipment

  • Baking sheet

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 425℉ or 218℃. Pat cod with paper towel, place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Seasoning with salt and pepper. Set aside.
  2. In a small bowl, combine chopped pistachios, breadcrumbs, grated garlic, lemon juice and olive oil. Alternatively, add pistachios, garlic to a food processor and pulse for 10 seconds until texture is crumbly . Then mix with breadcrumbs, lemon juice and olive oil. Set aside.
  3. Add 1/2 tablespoon of yogurt to each fillet, spreading evenly. Divide the pistachio mixture equally and lightly press down to each cod fillet to hold crust mixture in place.
  4. Bake for 9-12 minutes, until the fish flakes easily with a fork and crust is golden in colour. It may depend on the thickness of the fish. Remove from oven and serve with lemon zest balsamic rice and asparagus or other seasonal vegetables.
