Campfire Pistachio Halibut
One of the tastiest fish meets the campfire in this buttery crusted dish that only needs three ingredients! Pair it with one of our easy sauces.
Equipment:
- Flat top grill (avoid getting pistachios in your fire/BBQ)
- Grill spatula
- 2 Small bowls for coating fish
Ingredients:
- 2 lbs halibut filets
- 2 tbsp melted butter
- ¼ cup shelled and finely chopped pistachio nuts
Instructions:
- Time Saver! Throw your pistachios in a food processor or blender at home and pulse them into tiny pieces (just don’t get down to a powder). Store them in a container or plastic bag to pack for camp.
- Prepare your campfire or preheat your barbecue to medium heat.
- Coat each filet in melted butter and then roll it gently in your pistachios to coat.
- Cook on a hot grill for 10-12 minutes, turning once halfway through. Each filet should have an internal temperature of 130-135°F at the thickest part.
- Fish will be firm and opaque when fully cooked
- Remove from the grill (carefully to avoid losing any of the crust) and serve hot with your choice of sauce and side, such as rice and mixed veggies.
