What You'll Need

  • 1/4 cup Pistachios, shelled
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice

Putting It Together

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Place the shelled pistachios in a resealable bag and use a rolling pin to crush them into a coarse crumble.
  3. Brush the top and sides of each salmon fillet with olive oil and season generously with salt and pepper.
  4. Press the crushed pistachios onto the top of each fillet, creating a thick crust.
  5. Place the salmon on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and the pistachio crust is golden. Serve with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice.
