PISTACHIO-CRUSTED HALIBUT

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Combine the pistachios, bread crumbs, salt, and pepper in a shallow dish. Place the beaten egg in another shallow dish. Place the flour in a third dish. Pat the fish dry with paper toweling. Dredge one side only of the fish first in the flour, then dip that side only in the eggs, letting any excess drain off. Last, press the egg coated side of the fish into the pistachio mixture, pressing down so the coating adheres. Heat the olive oil in an oven-proof skillet over medium heat. Place the fish breaded-side down in the oil and cook until browned, about 3-4 minutes. Carefully turn the fish over. Place the skillet in the oven and bake at 350 degrees for 8-10 minutes or until the fish flakes easily with a fork. Serve hot.

PISTACHIO-CRUSTED HALIBUT WITH ROASTED BROCCOLINI

Steps:

• Place a rimmed baking sheet in the center of the oven and preheat to 450˚ F. Grate the lemon zest and set aside. Cut the lemon into 4 wedges and add to a large bowl along with the broccolini, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt and the red pepper flakes. Toss to coat. Spread on the hot baking sheet and roast until crisp-tender and charred, flipping halfway through, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, pulse the pistachios in a food processor until finely chopped. Add the reserved lemon zest, panko, za'atar and 1/2 teaspoon salt; pulse to combine. Transfer to a shallow bowl. Press the halibut fillets in the pistachio mixture, turning to fully coat all sides.
• Heat the remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat until hot. Add the halibut and cook, turning once, until golden brown, about 4 minutes per side.
• Season the halibut with salt and divide among plates. Serve with the roasted broccolini and lemon wedges.
