INGREDIENTS
6 oz Cod Fillet
1/4 cup Shelled Pistachios, raw
1 large Egg White
2 tbsp Fresh Orange Juice
1 tsp Fresh Ginger, grated
1 tbsp Fresh Lemon Juice
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Pat the cod fillet dry with paper towels and season lightly with salt and pepper.
In a shallow bowl, whisk the egg white. In another bowl, place the shelled pistachios and press them down to form a coarse meal.
Dip the cod fillet first into the egg white ensuring a light coating, then press it firmly into the crushed pistachios, making sure the top is well covered for a crispy crust.
Place the crusted cod onto the prepared baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
While the fish bakes, prepare the citrus-ginger sauce by combining the fresh orange juice, fresh lemon juice, and grated ginger in a small bowl. Stir well and adjust seasoning with a pinch of salt if needed.
Once the cod is done, drizzle the citrus-ginger sauce over the top or serve it on the side as a dipping sauce.
Plate the cod fillet and garnish with a light sprinkle of freshly cracked pepper. Enjoy your nutrient-balanced, flavorful dish!
