How to make pistachio-crusted cod
Sometimes I don't know what to say about my recipes. Every single time I just wanna go on and on about how delicious they are.
It's difficult when you aren't here to eat them with me, so I have to try and explain it so you'll want to cook it in your kitchen.
But I feel like if I just keep saying how yummy things are, you're going to become desensitized to my dramaticism (is that a word?) and will think I'm lying or something. Do you think I'm lying?
I don't know, maybe I'm just being crazy right now, but what I want you to know is the recipes ARE delicious. All of them. I wouldn't post and share them if they weren't. And this fish, this pistachio-crusted fish, is no exception.
So let me tell you about it.
Thick cut cod filets are coated in an egg Dijon mixture and dusted with a pistachio Panko crust and baked until flaky and luscious. That's literally all it takes to make the best fish in all of life.
See, there I go again making dramatic statements regarding a recipe. But the fact is... it's a fact. It's true. This fish is life-changing. Life-altering, if you will.
Pistachio-crusted cod is out-of-this-world
Do you see that crust? You really can't argue against it.
Okay I think I better sign off now because I'm being weird and I am not sure how you're going to feel about my fish ramblings.
P.S. It really is that good. Pair it with a nice salad and dinner is ready in less than 20 minutes and then you can spend the next 2 hours talking about the life changing pistachio-crusted cod. Promises.

Had it for dinner last night...YUMMO! Would this work with chicken??
Julie Andrews says
Glad you loved it! Yes, you could follow the same procedure for chicken, but it would take a bit longer. I'd use a meat thermometer to be sure it reaches 165! 🙂
