Today’s Unique Creation: Pistachio-Crusted Salmon with Mango Salsa

Welcome to my kitchen, foodies! Today, I’m excited to share a vibrant and flavorful dish that’s perfect for a light and refreshing dinner. The combination of nutty pistachios, perfectly cooked salmon, and tangy mango salsa is a real showstopper. Let’s dive into the exciting world of pistachio-crusted salmon with mango salsa!

For this recipe, you’ll need the following ingredients:

• salmon fillets (150g each)
• pistachios (100g)
• mango (1, diced)
• red onion (1/2, finely chopped)
• fresh cilantro (a handful, chopped)
• lime juice (1 lime)
• olive oil
• salt and pepper

Gather your kitchen tools:

• baking sheet
• food processor
• mixing bowl
• knife
• cutting board

Preheat your oven to 200°C. Place the pistachios in a food processor and pulse until they are finely chopped. Transfer the pistachios to a shallow dish. Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper, then press each fillet into the crushed pistachios, coating the top generously.

Lay the pistachio-crusted salmon fillets on a baking sheet and drizzle with a bit of olive oil. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

While the salmon is baking, make the mango salsa. In a mixing bowl, combine the diced mango, chopped red onion, fresh cilantro, lime juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Mix everything until well combined.

Once the salmon is done, serve it hot with a generous spoonful of the fresh mango salsa on top. The crispy pistachio crust pairs perfectly with the juicy salmon and zesty salsa. Each bite is a burst of contrasting flavors and textures that will leave you craving more.

The total weight of the cooked dish is approximately 500g. This recipe serves 2, with each serving weighing around 250g. One serving is approximately 400 calories.

A clever tip to enhance the flavors of this dish is to sprinkle a pinch of chili flakes over the mango salsa before serving. The touch of heat adds a nice kick to balance out the sweetness of the mango and richness of the salmon.

I hope you enjoy this unique and delicious recipe for pistachio-crusted salmon with mango salsa. Feel free to get creative and make it your own by adding different herbs or fruits to the salsa. Bon appétit!
