Baked pistachio crusted tilapia

Baked pistachio crusted tilapia is a delightful and nutritious dish that combines the mild flavor of tilapia with the crunchy texture of pistachios. The addition of herbs and a touch of honey adds complexity and sweetness, making this an impressive yet easy-to-make meal for any occasion.

Ingredients:

1 tsp fresh thyme
0.80g
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1.55g
1 dash salt
0.40g
1 dash black pepper
1/10g
1/4 oz pistachio nuts
7g
1/4 cup multi-grain oatmeal
20g
1 tsp rosemary
0.70g
3.50 oz tilapia
100g
2 tbsp honey
40g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare the Pistachio Crust:
- In a food processor, combine the pistachio nuts, multi-grain oatmeal, fresh thyme, garlic powder, rosemary, salt, and black pepper.
- Pulse until the mixture is finely ground and well-combined. Set aside.
3. Coat the Tilapia:
- Pat the tilapia fillet dry with paper towels.
- Lightly drizzle the fillet with honey on both sides, ensuring it is evenly coated. The honey will help the pistachio crust adhere to the fish.
4. Crust the Tilapia:
- Press the tilapia fillet into the ground pistachio mixture, coating both sides thoroughly.
- Ensure the crust adheres well by gently pressing the mixture onto the fillet.
5. Bake the Fish:
- Place the crusted tilapia on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and the crust is golden brown.
6. Serve:
- Remove the tilapia from the oven and let it rest for a couple of minutes.
- Serve the baked pistachio-crusted tilapia with your favorite sides, such as steamed vegetables, a fresh salad, or quinoa.

Tips:

- Ensure the pistachios are finely chopped for an even crust.

- Pat the tilapia fillets dry before applying the crust to help it adhere better.

- If you prefer a more golden crust, broil the fish for the last 1-2 minutes of baking.

- Serve immediately for the crispiest texture.

Enjoy your perfectly baked pistachio crusted tilapia with a side of steamed vegetables or a fresh salad. The combination of flavors and textures will leave your taste buds satisfied and your body nourished.
