.I did sprinkle a bit of a frozen whole lemon ,grated to the salt and pepper. YUM
Even though we patted the whitefish fillets dry before seasoning and adding the pistachio, it was so wet and soggy coming out of the oven. I put it back in, under the broiler and that only marginally helped. What might I have done wrong?
Peggy, If the Pistachios were not ground enough that could have been the issue. Try this: instead of oil, add a light layer of mayo to the fish, then press in the finely ground Pistachios. Works like a charm!
