Unforgettable Flavor: Pistachio-Crusted Salmon Recipe

Delicious Pistachio Crusted Salmon

Today, I am excited to share a mouthwatering recipe for pistachio-crusted salmon. This dish is perfect for impressing your dinner guests or simply treating yourself to a gourmet meal at home. The combination of crispy pistachios and tender salmon creates a truly unforgettable flavor experience.

Ingredients:

• salmon fillets (200g each)
• pistachios (100g)
• honey (30ml)
• Dijon mustard (15g)
• lemon juice (15ml)
• salt and pepper to taste

Kitchen Tools:

• food processor
• baking sheet
• mixing bowl
• oven

Start by preheating your oven to 180°C. Using a food processor, pulse the pistachios until they are finely chopped. In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped pistachios, honey, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, salt, and pepper to create a flavorful crust for the salmon.

Place the salmon fillets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Spread the pistachio mixture evenly over the top of each fillet, pressing gently to adhere. Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the salmon is cooked to your desired level of doneness.

Once the salmon is cooked, remove it from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring a moist and tender final dish. Serve your pistachio-crusted salmon with a side of roasted vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete meal.

The approximate total weight of the cooked dish is 450g, with 2 servings at 225g each. Each serving is approximately 350 calories.

One unique tip for this recipe is to try adding a splash of balsamic glaze to the salmon before baking. This extra flavor boost will take your dish to the next level and impress even the most discerning palate.

I encourage you to give this pistachio-crusted salmon recipe a try and make it your own by adding your favorite herbs or spices to the crust. Enjoy!
