PISTACHIO-CRUSTED COD WITH CITRUS SALSA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Using a small knife, remove the peel, pith and outer membrane of the grapefruit, tangerine and orange. Working over a bowl, slice each into segments; remove the seeds. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
• In a food processor, pulse the pistachios and garlic salt until the mixture resembles small pebbles. Transfer to a shallow dish.
• Season both sides of the fish fillets with salt and pepper. Use a pastry brush to coat the top side of each piece of fish with the Dijon mustard. Gently press the mustard-coated side of the fillets into the pistachio mixture. Transfer them pistachio crusted-side up onto the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork, 10 to 12 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillets. Transfer to a serving plate and top with the citrus salsa. Drizzle with olive oil and season with more salt and pepper before serving.

Spread on the hot baking sheet and roast until crisp-tender and charred, flipping halfway through, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, pulse the pistachios in a food processor until finely chopped. Add the reserved lemon zest, panko, za'atar and 1/2 teaspoon salt; pulse to combine. Transfer to a shallow bowl. Press the halibut fillets in the pistachio mixture, turning to fully coat all sides.
• Heat the remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat until hot. Add the halibut and cook, turning once, until golden brown, about 4 minutes per side.
• Season the halibut with salt and divide among plates. Serve with the roasted broccolini and lemon wedges.
