Pistachio-Crusted Salmon

Print Recipe

Ingredients
  

  • 1 side salmon (or 4 salmon fillets)
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp pepper
  • 1 tbsp honey (or maple syrup)
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 2/3 cup finely chopped pistachios

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Place the salmon on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet and pat it dry with a paper towel. Generously season the salmon with salt and pepper.
  • In a bowl whisk together the honey, lemon juice, Dijon mustard and garlic.
  • Once well mixed together, stir in the chopped pistachios.
  • Spoon the pistachio mixture over the salmon and firmly press down on it with a fork to help ensure that it stays on the salmon.
  • Bake it in the preheated oven for 15 minutes until the salmon easily flakes with a fork.
  • I love it with couscous and a side of asparagus.
