Ingredients:

• 2 halibut fillets (about 6 oz each)
• 1/2 cup shelled pistachios, finely chopped

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• Salt and pepper to taste

3. Drizzle olive oil over the mixture and stir until combined.
4. Place the halibut fillets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
5. Spread the pistachio mixture evenly over the top of each fillet, pressing gently to adhere.
