Ingredients

• 4 pieces Salmon fillets
• 1 cup Pistachios, shelled and unsalted
• 0.5 cup Gluten-free breadcrumbs
• 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 4 pieces Lemon wedges

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a food processor, pulse the pistachios until they are coarsely chopped. Be careful not to over-process, as you want small pieces rather than a fine meal.

Step 3

In a medium bowl, combine the chopped pistachios, gluten-free breadcrumbs, and grated Parmesan cheese. Mix well and set aside.

Step 4

In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, honey, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Step 5

Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the top of each fillet with the olive oil and mustard mixture to ensure even coverage.

Step 6

Press the pistachio mixture onto each salmon fillet, ensuring the tops are well covered with the crust.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the pistachio crust is golden brown and the salmon is cooked through. The internal temperature of the salmon should reach at least 145°F (63°C).

Step 8

Remove from the oven and let the salmon rest for a few minutes. Serve the salmon with lemon wedges on the side for an added burst of freshness.
