Ingredients

1 cup shelled pistachios
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
4 tilapia fillets
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons honey mustard
1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
4 ounces prosciutto, diced
4 tablespoons pine nuts
6 cups fresh chard leaves
1/4 cup crumbled Gorgonzola or blue cheese

Directions

In a food processor, combine pistachios, oregano, thyme, and garlic powder. Process until finely chopped and transfer to a shallow dish. Season both sides of tilapia fillets with salt and pepper. Brush honey mustard over both sides of tilapia and then transfer to pistachio mixture. Press mixture into both sides of fish.

Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add tilapia and cook 2 to 3 minutes per side, until fork-tender.

Heat remaining oil in a small skillet over high heat. Add prosciutto and cook 2 minutes, until golden brown. Add pine nuts and cook 1 minute, until nuts are golden brown. Add chard leaves, cover and steam 2 minutes, until leaves soften. Arrange chard mixture on a serving platter and top with Gorgonzola and serve with tilapia.

Terrific Tilapia
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This fish was a big hit with my husband and son who are not fish eaters-it needs to have a sauce or coating for them. I... didn't do the chard but would probably saute some spinach next time. Served with a side of rice-they especially liked the blue cheese.Read more

Pistachio Crusted Talipia
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

I used olive oil like the recipe said but it ended up burning. What did I do wrong? I cooked it on med-high heat but got a... mess of black sludge in the pan. Help!!!Read more

Delicious
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

Only made the tilapia (couldn't find swiss chard at market so had to skip - will try again next time): served to three kids,... husband and grandmother and everyone cleaned their plates with high praise. I think I'll make my own honey mustard with dijon next time as the bottled seemed a bit, well, bottled. Great flavor, quick and easy to prepare and pretty tough to screw up. Will definitely make this again.Read more

Wonderful Tilapia Recipe
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I love fish, so when Lent comes around and all kinds of fish are on sale every week, I look for different types of fish to... cook. I've never made tilapia before, so when I saw it on sale, I started looking for a recipe to use. This was so good. I loved the chard - it had 3 of our favorite ingredients - prosciutto, gorgonzola and pine nuts. The fish was really good, too. I didn't get the coating quite crispy enough, but it was still really good.Read more

UMMM TO THE GAG COMMENT
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

The person with the review titled GAG...You said that the pistachio"in shell" made the dish unbearable...well of course it... would!!! Disgusting and hard to digest...however the recipe did NOT ask for pistachios "in shell" it asked for SHELLED pistachios. Shelled means without shell. Before you comment next time make sure you read the directions properly. This recipe was good, not amazing, not bad, but worth tryingRead more
