Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Salmon fillets
- 1 cup Pistachios, shelled and unsalted
- 0.5 cup Gluten-free breadcrumbs
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 pieces Lemon wedges
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a food processor, pulse the pistachios until they are coarsely chopped. Be careful not to over-process, as you want small pieces rather than a fine meal.
In a medium bowl, combine the chopped pistachios, gluten-free breadcrumbs, and grated Parmesan cheese. Mix well and set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, honey, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the top of each fillet with the olive oil and mustard mixture to ensure even coverage.
Press the pistachio mixture onto each salmon fillet, ensuring the tops are well covered with the crust.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the pistachio crust is golden brown and the salmon is cooked through. The internal temperature of the salmon should reach at least 145°F (63°C).
Remove from the oven and let the salmon rest for a few minutes. Serve the salmon with lemon wedges on the side for an added burst of freshness.
