Ingredients
- 4 pieces salmon fillets
- 0.75 cups shelled pistachios
- 0.25 cups parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tablespoons almond flour
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 pieces lemon wedges
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Place the shelled pistachios in a food processor and pulse until they are coarsely chopped. Be careful not to overprocess them into a paste.
Step 3
In a medium bowl, combine the chopped pistachios, grated parmesan cheese, almond flour, lemon zest, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly.
Step 4
Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 5
Brush each salmon fillet with olive oil, ensuring they are fully coated.
Step 6
Press the pistachio mixture onto the top of each salmon fillet, ensuring an even coating. Press gently to help the mixture adhere to the fish.
Step 7
Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the salmon is cooked through and opaque.
Step 8
Remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for a minute.
Step 9
Serve each salmon fillet with a lemon wedge for squeezing over the top before eating to enhance the flavors.
