Savory Pistachio Crusted Salmon Recipe

Today’s Special: Savory Pistachio Crusted Salmon

Hey there, fellow foodies! Today, I’m excited to share a recipe that’s perfect for a cozy night in or a special dinner with loved ones. I’ve been experimenting with unique flavor combinations lately, and this savory pistachio crusted salmon is a real winner. The crunch of the pistachios pairs perfectly with the tender, flaky salmon, creating a dish that’s bursting with flavor and texture.

Ingredients:

• salmon fillets (4, 150g each)
• pistachios (100g, shelled and finely chopped)
• honey (20g)
• dijon mustard (10g)
• garlic powder (5g)
• salt (to taste)
• black pepper (to taste)

Kitchen Tools:

• baking sheet
• food processor
• mixing bowl
• measuring spoons
• oven

To start, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a food processor, pulse the pistachios until they are finely chopped but still have some texture. In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped pistachios, honey, dijon mustard, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.

Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet and season with salt and pepper. Spread the pistachio mixture evenly over the top of each fillet, pressing gently to adhere. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked to your liking and the pistachio crust is golden brown.

Once the salmon is cooked, remove it from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld together and ensures a tender, juicy fish. Serve the pistachio crusted salmon with your favorite side dishes and enjoy!

The total weight of the cooked dish is approximately 700g, with 4 servings at around 175g each. One serving of this delicious pistachio crusted salmon is approximately 250 calories.

A clever tip for this recipe is to toast the pistachios before chopping to enhance their flavor and crunch. Simply spread the pistachios on a baking sheet and toast in the oven for 5-7 minutes before pulsing in the food processor.

I hope you give this savory pistachio crusted salmon a try soon! Feel free to customize it with your favorite herbs or spices to make it your own. Bon appétit!
