Air Fryer Pistachio Crusted Sea Bass
Sea bass fillets are crusted in pistachios and panko for a nutty, crunchy exterior in this healthy air-fryer recipe. We use sea bass here, but any other firm white fish like halibut would work just as well. Serve with grains and a side salad.
Ingredients:
- 4 (4-ounce) skin-on black sea bass, halibut or other firm white fish fillets
- ¾ teaspoon kosher salt, divided
- ½ teaspoon ground pepper, divided, plus more for garnish
- ¼ cup whole-milk plain strained yogurt, such as greek-style
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill or 1 tablespoon dried
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ cup finely chopped pistachios
- ¼ cup whole-wheat panko breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
- watercress & extra-virgin olive oil for serving
Directions:
- Preheat air fryer to 400℉. Coat the air-fryer basket generously with cooking spray.
- Pat fish dry; arrange, skin-side down, on a baking sheet. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
- Combine yogurt, dill and garlic powder in a small bowl. Brush the mixture on the tops of the fillets.
- Combine pistachios, panko, parsley and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper in a shallow dish. Dredge the yogurt-coated sides of the fillets in the panko mixture, pressing to adhere.
- Arrange the fillets in a single layer, panko-sides up, in the prepared basket. Cook until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the center registers 145℉, 4 to 6 minutes per 1/2-inch thickness of fish.
- If you like, serve the fish over watercress, drizzle with oil and sprinkle with additional pepper.

Baked Salmon With Brown-Buttered Tomatoes & Basil
There’s so much to love about this simple, summery salmon dish. It makes good use of the season’s bountiful cherry tomatoes and basil. It’s virtually impossible to mess up given the gentle roasting technique. And it involves nutty, always glorious brown butter polka-dotted with sizzled brown mustard seeds, which lend their characteristic piquant, tangy flavor. The mustard-infused brown butter sauce not only enhances the salmon’s natural buttery richness, it’s the perfect counterpoint to ripe, juicy tomatoes that become soft and jammy when roasted alongside the salmon. The resulting combination of flavors, textures, and colors is pretty spectacular, especially given how easily the whole dish comes together. This same preparation works well with other fish and seafood, such as Arctic char, steelhead trout, and shrimp; just adjust the roasting time accordingly.
