Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces salmon fillets
- 1 cup shelled pistachios
- 0.5 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 whole lemon
- 2 tablespoons dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Place the pistachios in a food processor and pulse until they are finely chopped. Transfer to a medium bowl.
Add the breadcrumbs, the zest of one lemon, and a pinch of salt and pepper to the chopped pistachios and mix well. Set aside.
In a small bowl, combine the juice of half a lemon, Dijon mustard, honey, and olive oil. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Rinse the salmon fillets under cool water and pat them dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
Brush the top of each salmon fillet generously with the mustard-honey mixture.
Press the pistachio mixture onto the top of each fillet, ensuring the surface is well covered.
Place the salmon fillets, skin side down, onto the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and the pistachio crust is golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let the salmon rest for a couple of minutes before serving. Optionally, squeeze some fresh lemon juice over the top for added brightness.
Serve warm with your choice of side dishes.
