Enjoy a delightful twist on a classic seafood dish featuring a tender cod fillet coated in a crunchy pistachio crust and served alongside a refreshing citrus-infused cauliflower rice. This dish delivers satisfying texture contrast and a bright pop of citrus flavor, combining light yet flavorful components for a balanced meal.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz Cod Fillet
1/4 cup chopped Pistachios
1 cup Cauliflower Rice
1 tsp Olive Oil
1/2 Lemon (zest and juice)
Salt and Black Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Pat the cod dry and season lightly with salt and pepper on both sides.
Place the chopped pistachios on a plate. Press the cod fillet gently into the pistachios to form an even crust on one side.
Heat olive oil in the skillet and place the pistachio-crusted side of the cod down. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until the crust becomes crispy and golden.
Carefully flip the cod and cook the other side for an additional 2-3 minutes until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
While the cod is cooking, in a separate pan or microwave, lightly sauté the cauliflower rice with a squeeze of lemon juice and a pinch of salt for 2-3 minutes until tender. Stir in the lemon zest to add a bright citrus note.
Plate the cod on a bed of citrus cauliflower rice and drizzle any remaining lemon juice over the top. Serve immediately and enjoy the refreshing, crunchy textures.
