Instructions

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Add pistachios and packed parsley to the bowl of a small food processor. Pulse until well combined and texture is like large grains of sand, with very few chunks of pistachio. Stir in zest of one lemon, sea salt and black pepper.

Pour pistachio coating onto a plate.

Use a paper towel to pat dry the Mahi Mahi filets. Brush a thin layer of mayonnaise – about 1 tablespoon per filet – onto the top of each piece.

Press the mayonnaise-coated side of each filet into the plate of pistachio coating, coating well. Press extra coating onto the top, ensuring full coverage.

Place fish on the parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 12 to 14 minutes, until fish is cooked to 145 degrees F internally and is flaky. Serve.
