Pan Roasted Black Cod with Lemon Pistachio Piccata

Pan Roasted Black Cod with Lemon Pistachio Piccata

Pistachios are not just for snacks or ball games. These nuts add a depth of flavor to this picada sauce to really spruce up an already decadent white fish, black cod. This recipe does indeed have three parts but each is easier than the last and quick to do! Write this one down, you'll want to serve it as another family dinner again next week.

Ingredients

FOR THE LEMON SAUCE

  • 1 small shallot, minced 
  • 1 tablespoon Champagne vinegar 
  • 1 tablespoon lemon rind
  • ½ cup olive oil 
  • Salt, to taste

FOR THE PISTACHIO PICADA

  • ¼ cup shelled pistachios 
  • ½ tablespoon minced garlic
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil 
  • ½ tablespoon salt
  • ⅛ cup chopped parsley

FOR THE BLACK COD

  • 2 (6 oz. each) Alaska Black Cod portions
  • Salt and Pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

Instructions

  1. Combine shallots and vinegar in a small glass bowl; marinate for 15 minutes. Then put the shallots & vinegar in a blender, adding lemon rind and olive oil. Blend until smooth. Add salt to taste. 
  2. Toss pistachios, garlic, extra-virgin olive oil and salt together in a bowl. Spread on a baking sheet, lightly toast in 350°F oven, about 5 to 8 minutes. Chop the pistachio mix with the parsley to a coarse salsa consistency.
  3. Season each piece of fish with salt and pepper. Heat a non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil to the pan, then gently add the black cod. Cook cod about 3 to 4 minutes per side, or just until opaque throughout.
