Pistachio-Crusted Halibut

1 cup chopped pistachios
1 cup coarse breadcrumbs
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 eggs, beaten
1/2 cup all purpose flour
4 skinless fillets halibut, 5 ozs. each
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Place pistachios, bread crumbs, salt and pepper together in a shallow baking dish, stir to combine.

Place eggs in separate dish and flour in another dish.

Take each portion of halibut and dredge only top side in flour, then eggs, then pistachio/bread crumb mixture, being careful to dredge top side only.

Heat olive oil in a sauté pan to medium heat.
Place breaded side of fish in hot oil and sear until golden brown; approximately 3 to 4 minutes.

Flip fish gently so breaded side of fish is on top, and finish in oven for approximately 8 to 10 minutes.
Serves 4.
