Pistachio Crusted Salmon Recipe: Easy & Delicious!

Ingredients

• 0.25 cup crushed pistachios
• 2 tablespoons panko bread crumbs
• 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 tablespoon butter, melted
• 4 (6 ounce) fillets salmon with skin, center cut
• salt and ground black pepper to taste
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 4 lemon wedges

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
2. In a small bowl, mix together the pistachios, bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, and butter until well combined.
3. Season the salmon fillets lightly with salt and pepper on both sides.
4. Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Sear the salmon fillets, flesh-side down, for 2 to 3 minutes. Turn off the heat and flip the salmon so the skin side is down.
5. Evenly brush the tops of the salmon with Dijon mustard. Then, top with the pistachio mixture, gently pressing it onto the salmon.
6. Bake in the preheated oven until the salmon easily flakes with a fork, approximately 10 to 12 minutes. Serve with fresh lemon wedges.
