Pistachio-Crusted Mustard Salmon
Pistachio-Crusted Mustard Salmon is a delicious and flavorful dish where fresh salmon fillets are coated in a crust made from crushed pistachios and tangy Dijon mustard.
Ingredients
- 2 salmon fillets
- ½ cup shelled pistachios, finely chopped or crushed
- 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
- Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture. In a shallow dish, combine the finely chopped or crushed pistachios with a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Spread a thin layer of Dijon mustard evenly over each salmon fillet. Press the mustard-coated side of each fillet into the pistachio mixture, ensuring that the nuts adhere to the salmon and create a crust.
- Place salmon on the baking dish lined with parchment and drizzled with olive oil. Transfer the baking dish with the salmon to the preheated oven and bake for 12 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
- Remove the dish from the oven and let the salmon rest for a minute before serving. Plate the Pistachio-Crusted Mustard Salmon and garnish with some extra chopped pistachios and fresh lemon wedges.
