Crispy Pistachio-Crusted Cod with Citrus Cauliflower Rice
Enjoy the delicate flavors of tender cod encrusted with crunchy pistachios paired with a bright, zesty cauliflower rice. This dish marries the nutty texture of pistachios with citrus notes for a satisfying and balanced meal.
INGREDIENTS
6 ounces Cod Fillet
1/4 cup Shelled Pistachios
1 cup Cauliflower Rice
1 tsp Olive Oil
1/2 Lemon (juice and zest)
Pinch of Salt
Pinch of Black Pepper
2 tbsp Fresh Cilantro
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Pat the cod fillet dry and season lightly with salt and pepper. Drizzle with a little olive oil for extra crisping later.
Place the pistachios in a small food processor or seal them in a plastic bag and crush them until coarsely ground. Press the ground pistachios onto the top side of the cod fillet to form a crust.
Heat a non-stick skillet with a small amount of olive oil over medium-high heat. Carefully place the pistachio-side down first to help set the crust for about 2 minutes.
Transfer the skillet (or the cod fillet from the pan) to the oven and bake for 8-10 minutes until the cod is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Meanwhile, warm the cauliflower rice in a medium pan over medium heat. Stir in lemon zest and a squeeze of lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Plate the cauliflower rice and top with the crispy pistachio-crusted cod. Garnish with fresh cilantro and an extra drizzle of lemon juice if desired.
