Pesto and Walnut Crusted Cod

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

2. 2

   While the oven heats up, remove fish fillets from the refrigerator, pat dry with a paper towel, and let them come to room temperature.

3. 3

   Lightly grease or oil a cast iron skillet or baking dish.

4. 4

   Mix pesto, chopped walnuts, Greek yogurt, and grated cheese in a small bowl.

5. 5

   Before coating the fish with the pesto mixture, give each fillet a little spritz of lemon juice, and then hit the fillets with a bit of kosher salt and ground black pepper.

6. 6

   Coat the tops of the fillets evenly with the pesto mixture.

7. 7

   Bake fish for 13 minutes or until fish is firm to the touch and pesto walnut crust is starting to lightly brown.

8. 8

   An alternative way to do this is to bake the fish for 11 minutes and put it under the broiler (on high) for 23 minutes.

9. 9

   Keep a close eye on the fish while broiling since all broilers are different.
