Pistachio-Crusted White Fish

Toasty pistachios make a unique topping for juicy fish fillets. Asparagus and fresh dill, two hallmarks of spring, add delicate freshness. We love the way they elevate this otherwise simple meal.

Make

  1. Heat oven to 425F / 218C degrees and line a sheet pan with parchment paper. Toss asparagus with garlic and cooking oil and season with some salt and pepper. Spread out on one half of the sheet pan.

  2. Combine crushed pistachios, dill (portion for fish), salt, and pepper in a small bowl.

  3. Lay fish filets out onto the second half of the sheet pan. Top with pistachio mixture, pressing it gently into fish to help keep it in place.

  4. Transfer sheet pan to the oven and roast until fish is cooked through and asparagus is tender, ~10 minutes.

  5. While fish cooks, cook peas according to package directions. Stir in dill (portion for peas) and season with some salt.

  6. Divide fish among serving plates. Serve fish filets with peas and asparagus on the side and lemon wedges for squeezing over everything. Enjoy!
