Cranberry and Pistachio Crusted Fish

Today we are talking about festive fish recipes! Quick, easy, affordable (under $10!!) and with a healthy topping that brings a tasty Christmas twist to baked fish – Cranberry and Pistachio Crusted Fish!

In just 30 minutes you’ll have ready to serve these juicy white fish fillets. For this recipe you can use any white fish fillets are on sale at your market. Flounder is a great choice and very affordable or you can choose snapper (one of my favorite:) ). I have used Flounder fillets today and they were so moist and the cranberry pistachio topping goes perfectly with it. I decided to use dried cranberries because they are not as tart as fresh cranberries.

If you prefer, you can cook this dish, outside, on a hooded barbecue, especially if you are in the Southern Hemisphere. You’ll have to place your fish on foil on a barbecue plate and cook it for the same time as in the oven, almost 15 minutes or until cooked.
