INGREDIENTS
6 oz Cod Fillet
0.25 cup finely chopped Raw Pistachios
1 cup Cauliflower Rice
1/2 medium Lemon
1 tsp Olive Oil
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Pat the cod fillet dry with a paper towel and season lightly with salt and pepper.
Place the finely chopped pistachios on a small plate. Press the top of the cod fillet into the pistachios to form a crust.
Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Sear the cod, crust side down, for about 2 minutes until the pistachios become lightly toasted.
Transfer the cod, pistachio side up, to the prepared baking sheet and bake for 8-10 minutes until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Meanwhile, in another pan, add the cauliflower rice and a squeeze of lemon juice. Sauté over medium heat for 3-4 minutes to warm through and absorb the citrus flavor. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
Finely chop the remaining lemon (or use some zest) and mix it into the cauliflower rice for an extra burst of citrus aroma.
Plate the crispy pistachio-crusted cod alongside a generous serving of citrus cauliflower rice and serve immediately.
