Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces salmon fillets
- 0.75 cups shelled pistachios
- 0.25 cups parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tablespoons almond flour
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 pieces lemon wedges
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Place the shelled pistachios in a food processor and pulse until they are coarsely chopped. Be careful not to overprocess them into a paste.
In a medium bowl, combine the chopped pistachios, grated parmesan cheese, almond flour, lemon zest, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly.
Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Brush each salmon fillet with olive oil, ensuring they are fully coated.
Press the pistachio mixture onto the top of each salmon fillet, ensuring an even coating. Press gently to help the mixture adhere to the fish.
Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the salmon is cooked through and opaque.
Remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for a minute.
Serve each salmon fillet with a lemon wedge for squeezing over the top before eating to enhance the flavors.
