Notes

  • Almonds or walnuts can make a great substitute if you’re out of pistachios.
  • I chose tilapia for this Pesto Pistachio Fish Fillet recipe because it is very neutral in taste and lets the pesto pistachio crust be the star of the show! You can definitely make it with salmon, halibut, haddock and any nice thick piece of fish would work great with the pesto pistachio crust. A thinner type of fish fillet would probably not handle the pistachio crust very well.
