Tips from the Test Kitchen
Is halibut sustainable?
Can I substitute a different punch in of fish?
Any white, flaky fish will work, such as cod, sea bass, haddock or tilapia.
If you are using a different fish, cook time needs to be adjusted depending on the thickness.
I can’t find panko, can I use other breadcrumbs?
Panko are Japanese breadcrumbs and are lighter and fluffier than traditional breadcrumbs.
you might use plain dry breadcrumbs as a substitute, just double-check to look for an unseasoned variety.
I’m allergic to nuts, can I use a seed instead?
Yes, you might use unsalted sunflower seeds or pumpkin seeds instead.
Coat a baking sheet with cooking spray.
Pat halibut fillets dry with paper towels and place on the prepared pan.
Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Brush the tops of the fillets with mayonnaise.
Combine pistachios, panko and garlic in a small bowl.
Top the fillets with the pistachio mixture, gently pressing to adhere.
Bake until the fish flakes easily with a fork, 8 to 12 minutes, depending on the thickness.
