This recipe is so flavorful and delicious- you would have no idea that this recipe is light. I have made it several times for my family- even my children devour this. If I am having a guest over I always make this recipe, and they comment every time how impressed they are.

Combine pistachios, oregano, garlic powder, and thyme, in a chopper or food processor. Continue to chop until the mixture is finely chopped. Then transfer the mixture to big zip lock bag. Dust both sides of your tilapia fillets with salt and pepper. Then brush the fish with the mustard and cover both sides. Dip the freshly coated fish in the pistachio bag and coat the fish.
