Pistachio Crusted Salmon
Ingredients
- 4 6-ounce salmon fillets
- Kosher salt to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 1 1/2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- 3/4 cup finely chopped pistachios
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and let the salmon come to room temperature for about 15 minutes. Place the salmon on a parchment-lined baking tray, pat dry with a paper towel, and season with salt and pepper.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the maple syrup or honey, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, minced garlic, and chopped pistachios to create the crust mixture.
- Spread the pistachio mixture evenly over the top of each salmon fillet, pressing gently to adhere.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
