Herbed Goat Cheese and Pistachio Crusted Filet
Looking for a quick dinner idea? This pistachio crusted halibut is a light and healthy meal option you can have on the table in under 30 min! The fresh, buttery flavour of the halibut is topped with a rich goat cheese flavour and finished off with the crunch of chopped pistachios. Taking just 10-minutes to prep and less than 20-minutes to bake in the oven, this is so easy to make!
We made it here with fresh halibut, but would go nicely with any fish filet, especially salmon!
Ingredients:
150g halibut (or filet of choice)
30g goats cheese (approx. 2 tbsp.)
15g pistachios (approx. 2 tbsp)
Salt and pepper, to taste
multiply individual ingredient amounts by however many servings you wish to make
Directions:
Defrost fish filet if frozen
Preheat oven to 425 degrees
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spray with EVOO
In a small bowl, soften the goats cheese by spreading it out with a knife or fork and add it to the top of your fish in an even layer
Crush the pistachios with the side of a bowl, plate or glass bottle (works best if the pistachios are contained in a plastic bag or plastic wrap)
Sprinkle the pistachios over the goats cheese and press into the cheese
Lightly season with salt and pepper
Bake for 12-15 minutes depending on the thickness of your filet and desired done-ness
