Active: 15 min
Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

  1. 1 pink grapefruit
  2. 1 tangerine
  3. 1 blood orange or regular orange
  4. Olive oil, for drizzling
  5. Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
  6. 1/2 cup roasted and salted pistachios without shells, such as Wonderful® Pistachios No Shells
  7. 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
  8. Four 4- to 6-ounce skinless cod fillets (you can also use halibut, sole or any white fish)
  9. 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Using a small knife, remove the peel, pith and outer membrane of the grapefruit, tangerine and orange. Working over a bowl, slice each into segments; remove the seeds. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
  3. In a food processor, pulse the pistachios and garlic salt until the mixture resembles small pebbles. Transfer to a shallow dish.
  4. Season both sides of the fish fillets with salt and pepper. Use a pastry brush to coat the top side of each piece of fish with the Dijon mustard. Gently press the mustard-coated side of the fillets into the pistachio mixture. Transfer them pistachio crusted-side up onto the prepared baking sheet.
  5. Bake until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork, 10 to 12 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillets. Transfer to a serving plate and top with the citrus salsa. Drizzle with olive oil and season with more salt and pepper before serving.

Fantastic! I also mixed in some grilled corn and avocado into the citrus. The whole family and girlfriends loved it!!! Definitely on the starting line up!

I love love this recipe. I have been making it for a long time regularly. It’s quick and easy, And healthy. Sometimes I make the citrus salsa which is sublime, but it does take some time, so I don’t make it every time. The fish w/pistachios stands alone.
