Ingredients

• 4 pieces (6-ounce each) Mahi Mahi fillets
• 1 cup Unsalted pistachios
• 0.5 cup Panko breadcrumbs
• 0.25 cup (grated) Parmesan cheese
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 whole (cut into wedges for serving) Lemon

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Finely chop the pistachios or pulse them in a food processor until they resemble coarse crumbs. Transfer to a shallow bowl.

Step 3

In the same bowl with the pistachios, mix in the panko breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.

Step 4

In a separate shallow bowl, mix the Dijon mustard with the olive oil to form a smooth coating sauce.

Step 5

Pat the Mahi Mahi fillets dry with paper towels. Lightly season both sides of the fillets with salt and pepper.

Step 6

Brush each fillet generously with the Dijon-olive oil mixture, ensuring an even coating.

Step 7

Press the coated side of the fillet into the pistachio mixture, gently pressing to adhere the crust. Repeat for all fillets.

Step 8

Place the crusted fillets onto the prepared baking sheet, crust side up.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the fish flakes easily with a fork.

Step 10

Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the top.
