Preparation steps

1.
For the Fish:
2.
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F/220 degrees C. Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil. Place fish on sheet; season with salt and pepper, and set aside.
3.
In a food processor, pulse pistachios, parsley, lemongrass, mustard seeds and garlic until coarsely chopped, 15 seconds. With machine running, add oil in a steady stream; pulse again just until combined. Season with salt and pepper.
4.
Top fish with pistachio mixture, pressing down a bit. Roast until fish is opaque throughout, 14 to 20 minutes.
5.
For the Sauce:
6.
Whisk all ingredients until well incorporated and smooth. To serve, spoon a little of the sauce on a plate and top with the pistachio and herb crusted fish. Accompany fish with thin slices of toasted pita.
