Ingredients
Scale
4 salmon fillets (6 oz each)
1 cup shelled unsalted pistachios
1/2 cup breadcrumbs (panko works great for extra crunch)
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (or your favorite herb)
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 lemon (zested and juiced)
2 tablespoons olive oil
Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a food processor, combine the pistachios, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, parsley, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Pulse until you have a coarse mixture.
Place your salmon fillets on a lined baking sheet, skin side down. Brush each fillet generously with Dijon mustard.
Sprinkle the lemon zest over the salmon. Press the pistachio mixture onto the top of each fillet.
Lightly drizzle olive oil over the crusted salmon before baking.
Bake for about 15-20 minutes, until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily.
Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the top before serving.
Plate your salmon and enjoy!
