Air Fryer Pistachio Crusted Sea Bass

Lamb

Sea bass fillets are crusted in pistachios and panko for a nutty, crunchy exterior in this healthy air-fryer recipe. We use sea bass here, but any other firm white fish like halibut would work just as well. Serve with grains and a side salad.

Ingredients

4 (4-ounce) skin-on black sea bass, halibut or other firm white fish fillets
¾ teaspoon kosher salt, divided
½ teaspoon ground pepper, divided, plus more for garnish
¼ cup whole-milk plain strained yogurt, such as Greek-style
2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill or 1 tablespoon dried
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ cup finely chopped pistachios
¼ cup whole-wheat panko breadcrumbs
2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
Watercress & extra-virgin olive oil for serving

Description

Preheat air fryer to 400℉. Coat the air-fryer basket generously with cooking spray.
Pat fish dry; arrange, skin-side down, on a baking sheet. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
Combine yogurt, dill and garlic powder in a small bowl. Brush the mixture on the tops of the fillets.
Combine pistachios, panko, parsley and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper in a shallow dish. Dredge the yogurt-coated sides of the fillets in the panko mixture, pressing to adhere.
Arrange the fillets in a single layer, panko-sides up, in the prepared basket. Cook until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the center registers 145℉, 4 to 6 minutes per 1/2-inch thickness of fish.
If you like, serve the fish over watercress, drizzle with oil and sprinkle with additional pepper.
