Instructions
Pistachio-Crusted Halibut
- Pop the fish in a Ziplock bag and pour 1 cup of whole milk over it.
- Chill in the fridge for 30 minutes.
- Chop 2/3 cup shelled pistachios finely and mix with zest of 1 lemon, 2 tablespoons Parmesan, and 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil in a small bowl.
- Preheat the oven to 425°F.
- Remove fish from milk, letting any extra drip off.
- Place fillets on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Sprinkle 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper evenly.
- Top each fillet with the pistachio mixture, pressing it down lightly.
- Bake for 10–12 minutes, until the crust is golden and the fish flakes easily.
- Serve hot with roasted potatoes and a dollop of spicy sour cream sauce if you like.
Arugula & Artichoke Stuffed Portobello Mushrooms
- Preheat oven to 425°F.
- Arrange the mushroom caps gill-side up in a 13 x 9-inch baking dish.
- Mix 2 cups cooked brown rice, 1 can artichoke hearts, 5 cups arugula, 1 cup chopped roasted red peppers, ½ cup sour cream, 1/4 cup mozzarella, 1/4 cup mayonnaise, and 1 package Knorr Cream of Leek Dry Soup Mix in a large bowl.
- Pack the mixture firmly into each mushroom, slightly mounding it.
- Pour about 1 tablespoon of water into the dish.
- Cover tightly with foil and bake 25 minutes until mushrooms are tender.
- Uncover, sprinkle the remaining ¼ cup of mozzarella over the tops, and bake another 5 minutes until melted and bubbly.
- Tip: If you want extra room for filling, gently scrape the inside of the mushroom cap with a spoon.
Baked Asparagus Fries
- Preheat oven to 425°F and lightly oil a baking sheet.
- In a bowl, combine 1 cup of Panko crumbs and ½ cup Parmesan, season with salt and pepper.
- Dredge asparagus in ½ cup flour, dip in 2 beaten eggs, then coat in Panko mixture.
- Press crumbs lightly so they stick.
- Lay asparagus in a single layer on the baking sheet.
- Bake 10–12 minutes until golden and crisp. Serve immediately.
