Healthy Recipes Healthy Cooking Methods & Styles Healthy Air Fryer Recipes Air-Fryer Pistachio-Crusted Sea Bass Be the first to rate & review! 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.

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.

Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
