¼ cup raw, unsalted pistachios, finely chopped
1 Tbsp. corn meal

1. Preheat oven to 400° F.
2. Combine mustard, lemon peel, salt, and pepper (if desired) in a small bowl; mix well.
3. Spread mustard mixture evenly on top side of each halibut fillet. Set aside.
4. Combine pistachios, corn meal, and parsley in a medium bowl; mix well.

I know what is on the barter menu soon!  I will substitute almond meal for the corn meal though :-).  Then it will be pale friendly.  We love seafood and this looks amazing!  Yum, yum!
