Pistachio crusted tilapia in the toaster oven!

Thawed 4 tilapia fillets.

 Beat 2 egg whites and put in dredging container.

Mix 1/2 cup pistachio finely chopped, 3 Tbsp cornmeal, 1/4 cup finely chopped parsley, 1/2 tsp pepper, 1/2 tsp salt.

Pre-heated toaster oven to 450 F on convection bake.  Sprayed non-stick spray on tinfoil.

Patted fillets dry with paper towel, dredge in egg white and then pistachio mixture on both sides and placed on tray (we could cook 2 at a time in the toaster oven).  I also drizzled about 1-1.5 Tbsp melted butter on top.

Baked ~8 min, rotating tray front-to-back (didn't flip the fish) halfway through.


Yogurt dip:  Mix together:

1 C greek yogurt

3/4 C finely diced persian cucumber

2 Tbsp finely chopped fresh dill

1 T lemon juice

1/2 tsp salt

1/4 tsp smoked paprika


Served with lemon.

Very nice!  Maybe fish could be salted a little more.  maybe mix pistachio with almonds?
