Make the pistachio crust

• Chop the pistachios finely and place them in a bowl.
• Add the breadcrumbs, lemon zest, grated garlic and chopped parsley.
• Pour in the melted butter and olive oil, season with salt and pepper and mix until it resembles a coarse crumb.

Prepare the cod

• Squeeze over a little lemon juice.

Sear the fish

• Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat.
• Sear the cod fillets for 2 minutes on one side only, until lightly golden.

Bake with the crust

• Place the cod in a baking dish, seared side up.
• Press the pistachio crust generously on top of each fillet.
• Bake until the crust is golden and the fish flakes easily.

Serve

• Transfer the cod to plates and finish with a squeeze of lemon juice.
• Serve immediately with a drizzle of olive oil.
