Servings: 4

 

Ingredients:

1/3 cup fresh breadcrumbs

1/2 tsp. coarse salt; more to taste

4 cod fillets, preferably loin pieces (4 to 6 oz. each)

2 Tbs. Dijon mustard

1/8 tsp. finely ground black pepper; more to taste

2 Tbs. olive oil

2 Tbs. grated Parmesan

1/2 cup unsalted shelled pistachios

Equipment:

baking sheet

aluminum foil

oven

bowl

frying pan

Cooking instruction summary:

Tip:Whether using traditional or loin fillets, the doneness test is the same: The flakes will separate easily, and the fish will be opaque. Heat the oven to 425F. 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. Serving Suggestions Steamed green beans and red potatoes or brown rice are great accompaniments. nutrition information (per serving): Calories (kcal): 280, Fat (kcal): 16, Fat Calories (g): 140, Saturated Fat (g): 3, Protein (g): 26, Monounsaturated Fat (g): 9, Carbohydrates (mg): 9, Polyunsaturated Fat (mg): 3, Sodium (g): 580, Cholesterol (g): 50, Fiber (g): 2, Photo: Scott Phillips Rate this Recipe and View Reviews
