Pistachio Crusted Salmon
- Ready In:
- 25mins
- Ingredients:
- 6
- Yields:
-
3 fillets
- Serves:
- 3
ingredients
- 1 lb salmon fillet
- 1⁄2 teaspoon kosher salt (to taste)
- 1⁄4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper (to taste)
- 3 tablespoons dijon-style mustard (I actually used the whole grain variety)
- 1 tablespoon chopped chives or 1 tablespoon scallion
- 1⁄2 cup shelled salted and dry roasted pistachios, crushed
directions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- Pat the fish dry with a paper towel and divide the fillet into three uniform portions.
- Sprinkle salt and pepper on the skin, and lay it skin-side down on the parchment-lined baking tray.
- Combine the mustard and chives in a small bowl.
- Spread one-third of the mixture evenly on each piece of fish.
- Next, sprinkle the crushed nuts on top of the mustardy salmon and pat them down gently to make sure they stick.
- Place the tray in the oven for about 10 minutes or until the salmon is cooked through to your desired doneness. If you’re cooking a whole 1-pound filet, you may need to increase the baking time to 15 minutes.
- Take the salmon out of the oven and let the fillets rest for a few minutes before serving.
