I love fish and Italian flavors are my favorites. This recipe gives cod a little bit of a different treatment. —Valery Anderson, Sterling Heights, Michigan

    4 servings

Ingredients

  • 2 envelopes pesto sauce mix, divided
  • 4 cod fillets (6 ounces each)
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1/2 cup shredded Parmesan or Romano cheese
  • 1/2 cup pine nuts, toasted

Directions

  • Prepare one envelope pesto sauce mix according to package directions; set aside. Sprinkle fillets with remaining pesto mix, patting to help adhere.
  • In a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add fillets; cook until fish just begins to flake easily with a fork, 4-5 minutes on each side. Remove from heat. Sprinkle with cheese and pine nuts. Serve with pesto sauce.
Editor's Note
To toast nuts, bake in a shallow pan in a 350° oven for 5-10 minutes or cook in a skillet over low heat until lightly browned, stirring occasionally.
