Grilled Cod With Pistachio-Herb Salsa

Cook time: 30 minutes

Servings: 2

Ingredients

• 6 oz Cod
• 0.5 Cup Chopped Pistachios
• 0.5 Cup Parsley
• 0.5 Cup Mint
• 2 Cloves Garlic
• 4 Whole Scallions
• 2 tbsp Lemon Juice
• 0.5 Cup Olive Oil
• 1 tsp Salt
• 1 tsp Black Pepper

Instructions

1. Light a grill or preheat a grill pan to high heat.
2. Make the Pistachio-Herb Salsa. In a bowl, combine the pistachios, parsley, mint, scallions, garlic, lemon juice, and enough olive oil for a runny, salsa-like sauce (½ to ¾ cups). Season with salt and pepper to taste.
3. Season the cod. Place the filets on a rimmed baking sheet or plate. Season generously with salt and pepper and brush lightly with olive oil.
4. Grill the cod. Place the cod, skin-side down, on the hot grill and cook until the skin is browned and crisp, 3 to 4 minutes. Carefully flip the fish with a fish spatula and cook until opaque throughout, 1 to 3 minutes longer (depending on the thickness of the filets).
5. Finish and serve. Transfer the fish to a shallow platter and drizzle with Pistachio-Herb Salsa. Serve immediately, topped with torn mint leaves.
