Ingredients
-
¼ 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
Directions
-
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
-
Combine pistachios, bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, and butter in a small bowl; stir with a fork until evenly combined.
-
Lightly season salmon fillets with salt and pepper on both sides.
-
Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Sear salmon fillets, flesh-side down, for 2 to 3 minutes. Turn heat off and flip salmon pieces over so skin side is down.
-
Brush tops of salmon evenly with Dijon mustard. Top with pistachio mixture, pressing mixture down onto salmon.
-
Bake in the preheated oven until salmon flakes easily with a fork, 10 to 12 minutes. Serve with lemon wedges.
Recipe Tips
Salmon fillets that are 1- to 1 1/4-inch thick work best.
Use a mini food processor to chop pistachios quickly; alternatively, you can use a resealable plastic bag and a meat mallet to crush the nuts.
