INGREDIENTS
6 oz Cod Fillet
1/8 cup minced Pistachios (shelled)
1 cup Cauliflower Rice
1 tsp Olive Oil (for cod)
1 tsp Olive Oil (for rice)
1/4 lemon (zest and juice)
2 tbsp Fresh Cilantro (chopped)
Salt and Black Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F.
Pat the cod fillet dry with paper towels and season lightly with salt and black pepper.
Place minced pistachios on a small plate. Drizzle the cod with 1 teaspoon of olive oil to help the crust adhere. Press the fillet gently into the pistachios to form a crust on one side.
Heat an oven-safe non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, place the cod pistachio-side down and sear for 2 minutes until the crust begins to crisp.
Flip the fillet carefully and transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Bake for about 6-8 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
Meanwhile, prepare the citrus cauliflower rice by heating 1 teaspoon of olive oil in a small pan over medium heat. Add the cauliflower rice and sauté for 3-4 minutes until tender.
Stir in the zest and juice from a quarter lemon and mix in the chopped cilantro. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Plate the cod and serve over a bed of citrus cauliflower rice. Garnish with an extra drizzle of lemon juice if desired.
