Equipment

1 Mortar and pestle
1 Baking Pan
Parchment Paper

Ingredients

4 Filet Cod
⅓ Cup Mayonnaise I use light mayo
½ Cup Pistachios Before they are ground down you need ½ cup of the full pistachios
1 teaspoon Salt To season the fish
1 teaspoon Pepper To season the fish

Instructions

Set the oven to 425° degrees F
Take paper towels: and pat down the fish. You do not want the fish to have too much water in it. Otherwise, it will seep out when you back it and it ruins the crunch of the crust.
Line a baking sheet pan: with parchment paper. Place the fish fillets on the pan. Season each fillet with salt and pepper.
Divide and place the mayo: on top of the fish. I like to use a pastry brush to coat the fish with the mayo and make sure it is covered on all sides.
Make the pistachio fine: I like to use a mortar and pestle to grind down the nuts. If you put them in a food processor, you run the risk of them turning into a nut butter which is not something you want for this recipe. Once you have ground them down into a chunky but finer powder, coat the fish with it.
Place the fish: into a hot oven and bake for 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and check to see that the internal temperature is 145°F. Once it hits 145, it is cooked and ready to serve.

Notes

I use light mayo for this recipe but you can use regular if you wish.
