Pistachio Crusted Black Cod Fillets In A Sicilian Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• Plump sultanas in 1/2 cup of white wine.
• Dip fish fillets in egg white, then coat with nuts and refrigerate while preparing the sauce.
• Begin preparing the sauce by heating olive oil in a large skillet. Add diced onion and fennel and saute until softened and onions have begun to caramelize just slightly. Then add mushrooms, garlic paste, and thyme. Salt lightly to draw out the juices and add pepper to taste. Once mushrooms have cooked down, add remainder of wine, orange juice, orange zest, olives, capers, pine nuts and sultanas including the wine in which they had been soaking. Continue to simmer to allow all the flavors to marry.
• In another skillet, heat about 1 inch of oil until hot enough for frying and gently slide in the fillets. Cook a few minutes on one side, then gently turn and cook a few minutes more. Remove and drain on a paper towel.
• For plating, spoon a generous amount of sauce onto a plate and top with the fillet.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• 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.
• In a food processor, pulse the pistachios and garlic salt until the mixture resembles small pebbles. Transfer to a shallow dish.
• 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.
• 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.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil. Place fish on sheet; season with salt and pepper, and set aside.
• In a food processor, pulse pistachios, parsley, and garlic until coarsely chopped, 15 seconds. With machine running, add oil in a steady stream; blend until mixture is finely chopped. Season with salt and pepper.
• Top fish with pistachio mixture. Roast until fish is opaque throughout, 12 to 14 minutes. Serve with lemon wedges.
