Ingredients
- 4 pieces Salmon fillets
- 1 cup Pistachios (shelled and unsalted)
- 0.25 cup Fresh parsley
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 serving Lemon wedges
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Place the pistachios, fresh parsley, and garlic cloves in a food processor. Pulse until the mixture is finely chopped.
Transfer the pistachio mixture to a bowl and mix in the lemon zest, salt, and black pepper.
Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and brush each fillet with olive oil.
Press the pistachio mixture onto the top of each salmon fillet firmly, ensuring a good crust forms.
Place the crusted salmon fillets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and has an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
Serve the salmon hot, with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the top.
