Pesto and Walnut Crusted Cod
- 2 (6 Oz. Size) Cod Fillets (or Any Mild White Fish)
- 2 Tablespoons Basil Pesto
- 3 Tablespoons Walnuts, Chopped
- 1 Tablespoon Plain Greek Yogurt (or Mayo)
- 2 Tablespoons Freshly Grated Parmesan Or Romano Cheese
- 1/2 Lemon, Juiced
- Kosher Salt And Ground Black Pepper, To Taste
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- While the oven heats up, remove fish fillets from the refrigerator, pat dry with a paper towel, and let them come to room temperature.
- Lightly grease or oil a cast iron skillet or baking dish.
- Mix pesto, chopped walnuts, Greek yogurt, and grated cheese in a small bowl.
- Before coating the fish with the pesto mixture, give each fillet a little spritz of lemon juice, and then hit the fillets with a bit of kosher salt and ground black pepper.
- Coat the tops of the fillets evenly with the pesto mixture.
- Bake fish for 13 minutes or until fish is firm to the touch and pesto walnut crust is starting to lightly brown.
- An alternative way to do this is to bake the fish for 11 minutes and put it under the broiler (on high) for 23 minutes.
- Keep a close eye on the fish while broiling since all broilers are different.
