Instructions

- Next, squeeze the sweet lime over each piece of fish, flipping and covering completely.
- Allow to marinate in the juice while preparing the pistachio crumb mix.
- Place the pistachios and basil into a small food processor and blend.
- Place the mixture in a shallow bowl then coat each side of the tilapia.
- Heat the olive oil in a cast iron skillet over medium heat, then add the tilapia to the skillet.
- Be sure the skillet is not too hot or the crust will burn before the fish is cooked through.
- Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until the fish is light white and flakey.
