Ingredients
- 4 pieces salmon fillets
- 1 cup pistachios
- 0.25 cup fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 2 cloves garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 pieces lemon wedges
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
Step 2
In a food processor, combine the pistachios, parsley, lemon zest, and garlic cloves. Pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Be careful not to over-process.
Step 3
Transfer the pistachio mixture to a shallow dish. Stir in salt and black pepper to evenly distribute the seasoning.
Step 4
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil and Dijon mustard until well combined. Brush each salmon fillet evenly with the mustard mixture.
Step 5
Place each mustard-coated salmon fillet into the pistachio mixture, pressing gently to ensure the crust adheres to the fish.
Step 6
Arrange the crusted salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not touching.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
Step 8
Remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
Step 9
Serve each salmon fillet with a lemon wedge on the side for squeezing over the top, if desired.
