Pesto Portobello Crusted Cod

Traditional pesto is extra full of flavor when you add portobello mushrooms--a great coating for broiled cod filets.

  • Servings: 4

Ingredients:

1 lb Fresh Cod In 4 Pieces
1 Batch Pesto
Olive Oil
¼ cup Fresh Grated Parmesan Cheese, for topping
Pesto:
1 bunch Flat Leaf Parsley
1 Large Portobello Mushroom Cap
2 oz Pine Nuts
6 cloves Garlic
3 tsp Dried Basil
¼ tsp Kosher Salt
¼ tsp Fresh Ground Pepper
¼ cup Olive Oil, or to taste
¼ cup Grated Parmesan Cheese

Directions:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

To prepare pesto, Place all ingredients into a food processor except olive oil. Pulse until it is a semi-thick spread then turn to high, and slowly drizzle olive oil into the paste, just until combined. Set pesto aside.

Cover fish completely with pesto on both sides. Arrange fish on an oiled baking sheet. Place in oven uncovered, turning one time, about 6 minutes on each side, then remove from oven. Turn oven up to high broil, grate fresh Parmesan cheese on top of fish, and place fish back under broiler, just until it begins to brown and crust, about 1 minute. Plate and serve.
