Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup shelled pistachios (not dyed red; 4 ounces)
1/2 cup packed fresh basil leaves
2 tablespoons minced shallot
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
6 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
6 pieces arctic char fillet (1 to 1 1/4 inches thick) with skin (6 ounces each)
1/2 tablespoon vegetable oil

Steps:

  • Coarsely chop pistachios in a food processor, then add basil, shallot, salt, pepper, and 6 tablespoons butter and purée until mixture forms a paste.
  • Preheat oven to 400°F.
  • Remove any bones from fish with tweezers and pat fish dry.
  • Heat oil and remaining 1/2 tablespoon butter in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over moderately high heat until foam subsides, then brown skin sides of fillets in 2 batches, 3 to 4 minutes per batch. Transfer fillets as browned, skin sides down, to a lightly oiled shallow baking pan (1 inch deep).
  • Divide pistachio paste among fillet pieces and spread evenly in a 1/8-inch-thick layer over top of each.
  • Bake fillets in middle of oven until just cooked through, 9 to 11 minutes.

This dish was a bit too expensive for my budget. I would recommend using a cheaper fish, such as tilapia or cod.

The pistachio crust was a bit too thick for my liking. I would recommend using less pistachios or crushing them more finely.

This recipe was a bit bland for my taste. I would recommend adding some more herbs or spices to the pistachio crust.

I've never cooked Arctic char before, but this recipe made it easy. The fish was flaky and moist, and the pistachio crust was crispy and flavorful. I served it with roasted vegetables and a lemon wedge, and it was a delicious meal.
