Cod's mild flavor gets a boost from a crunchy, nutty breadcrumb crust. If you don't have pistachios, you can substitute other nuts, just be sure to pick meaty, flavorful nuts, like walnuts or pecans.

Categories     Main Course

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 cup unsalted shelled pistachios
1/3 cup fresh breadcrumbs
2 Tbs. grated Parmesan
1/2 tsp. coarse salt; more to taste
1/8 tsp. finely ground black pepper; more to taste
2 Tbs. olive oil
4 cod fillets, preferably loin pieces (4 to 6 oz. each)
2 Tbs. Dijon mustard

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 425°F. Line a small baking sheet with foil and lightly grease the foil (spray is fine).
  • Chop the pistachios into medium-fine pieces. Combine the nuts, breadcrumbs, Parmesan, salt, and pepper in a shallow bowl. Drizzle with the olive oil and toss with a fork until the crumbs are evenly moistened.
  • If using fillets with tapered ends, loosely fold the ends under to create a fillet of even thickness. Spread the top of each fillet evenly with the mustard. Press the mustard-coated side of each fillet into the crumb mixture to generously coat the fish. Set the fillets, coating side up, on the prepared pan. Sprinkle the remaining crumb mixture over the fillets to form a thick coating.
  • Bake the fillets until the topping is crisp and browned and the fish is cooked through, 10 to 12 min., depending on thickness (see below for doneness test). Serve immediately.

PISTACHIO CRUSTED BLACK COD FILLETS IN A SICILIAN SAUCE



Pistachio Crusted Black Cod Fillets in a Sicilian Sauce image

This recipe has been adapted from FoodNetworks Halibut in Sicilian Sauce. I guess any firm white fleshy fish can be used, but I used Black Cod, also known as Sablefish or Butterfish. I always prefer to buy a whole fish and fillet it myself, as I feel that it is fresher and has a better flavor. Then I can make stock out of the bones and freeze away for later use. The sauce is a savory, salty, sweet combination that combines unlikely ingredients creating a lovely marrying of flavors and could probably be prepared a day ahead. As you prepare the sauce, add salt sparingly, since you are adding salty ingredients toward the end of the preparation. I have served this over risotto before, but it is still excellent without starch-stacking.

Time 1h15m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

4 (4 -6 ounce) black cod fish fillets
1 cup pistachio nut, ground (or use what ever type of nuts you have on hand)
1 egg white
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 fennel bulb, diced
1 red onion, diced
12 ounces cremini mushrooms, sliced
4 garlic cloves, mashed to form a paste with salt
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leave
1 cup white wine
1/4 cup sultana
10 green olives, pitted and roughly chopped
2 tablespoons capers, drained and rinsed
1/4 cup pine nuts, toasted
2 oranges, juice and zest of
salt and pepper
oil (I used peanut oil)

Steps:

  • Plump sultanas in 1/2 cup of white wine.
  • Dip fish fillets in egg white, then coat with nuts and refrigerate while preparing the sauce.
  • Begin preparing the sauce by heating olive oil in a large skillet. Add diced onion and fennel and saute until softened and onions have begun to caramelize just slightly. Then add mushrooms, garlic paste, and thyme. Salt lightly to draw out the juices and add pepper to taste. Once mushrooms have cooked down, add remainder of wine, orange juice, orange zest, olives, capers, pine nuts and sultanas including the wine in which they had been soaking. Continue to simmer to allow all the flavors to marry.
  • In another skillet, heat about 1 inch of oil until hot enough for frying and gently slide in the fillets. Cook a few minutes on one side, then gently turn and cook a few minutes more. Remove and drain on a paper towel.
  • For plating, spoon a generous amount of sauce onto a plate and top with the fillet.

Tips:

  • Choose firm-fleshed fish fillets, such as salmon, tilapia, or cod, to prevent them from breaking apart during cooking.
  • Make sure the fish fillets are dry before coating them in the pistachio crust. This will help the crust adhere better.
  • If you don't have a food processor, you can crush the pistachios by placing them in a plastic bag and using a rolling pin to crush them.
  • Be careful not to overcook the fish fillets. They should be cooked just until they are opaque in the center.
  • Serve the pistachio-crusted fish fillets with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.

Conclusion:

Pistachio-crusted fish fillets are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The pistachio crust adds a nutty flavor and a crispy texture to the fish, and the fish fillets are cooked to perfection in the oven. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
