INGREDIENTS


For the Pistachio Crust:

  • 4 salmon fillets
  • 1 cup shelled pistachios, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • Salt and pepper to taste


For the Lemon Cream Sauce:

  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • Zest of one lemon
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)


LET'S START COOKING


STEP 01

  • Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). This temperature ensures the pistachio crust becomes golden and the salmon cooks to perfection.


STEP 03

  • Prepare the Pistachio Crust: In a bowl, combine finely chopped pistachios, breadcrumbs, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, and pepper.
  • This creates a flavorful pistachio crust that will add a delightful crunch to your baked salmon.


STEP 03

  • Coat the Salmon: Place the salmon fillets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or lightly greased foil.
  • Coat each fillet with the prepared pistachio crust, pressing it gently to adhere.


STEP 04

  • Bake the Salmon: Transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven and bake the salmon for approximately 15-20 minutes or until the crust is golden and the salmon flakes easily with a fork.


STEP 05

  • Prepare the Lemon Cream Sauce: While the salmon is baking, prepare the lemon cream sauce.
  • In a saucepan, combine heavy cream, lemon zest, lemon juice, butter, salt, and pepper. Simmer over medium heat until the sauce thickens.


FINAL TOUCH

  • Serve and Garnish: Once the salmon is done baking, drizzle the lemon cream sauce over each fillet. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
