Ingredients

  • 2 pounds lingcod fish fillets
  • 1 tablespoon OWYD fish rub
  • ½ cup pistachios roasted and salted, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • ½ lemon juice freshly squeezed
  • 2 cloves garlic crushed
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon pepper
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon chopped green onions

Instructions

Prepare the Fish

  • Rinse the fish fillets with cold water and pat dry.
  • Sprinkle the OWYD fish rub over the fillets, covering all sides.

Prepare the Pistachio Crust

  • Finely chop the pistachios with a sharp knife or use a food processor.
  • Press the fish fillets into the chopped pistachios, coating all sides evenly.

Cook the Fish

  • Preheat the grill to 350°F (175°C).
  • Coat the bottom of a cookie sheet with olive oil and place the fish on the sheet.
  • Grill the fish for 16 minutes, flipping once after 8 minutes.
  • Check the internal temperature with a heat probe; the fish is done when it reaches 145°F (63°C) in the center.

Prepare the Sauce

  • In a small saucepan, combine lemon juice, garlic, salt, and pepper over medium heat. Bring to a simmer.
  • Add the heavy cream, stir well, and simmer for 2-3 minutes.
  • Turn off the heat, add butter, and stir until melted and the sauce thickens.

Serve:

  • Pour some sauce on the bottom of a plate and place a piece of fish on top.
  • Garnish with chopped green onions.
