Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces salmon fillets
- 1 cup pistachios
- 0.25 cup fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 2 cloves garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 pieces lemon wedges
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
In a food processor, combine the pistachios, parsley, lemon zest, and garlic cloves. Pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Be careful not to over-process.
Transfer the pistachio mixture to a shallow dish. Stir in salt and black pepper to evenly distribute the seasoning.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil and Dijon mustard until well combined. Brush each salmon fillet evenly with the mustard mixture.
Place each mustard-coated salmon fillet into the pistachio mixture, pressing gently to ensure the crust adheres to the fish.
Arrange the crusted salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not touching.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
Remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
Serve each salmon fillet with a lemon wedge on the side for squeezing over the top, if desired.
