INGREDIENTS
5 ounces Salmon Fillet
0.5 ounce Pistachios (unsalted), crushed
1 tablespoon Fresh Orange Juice
1 teaspoon Fresh Ginger, grated
1 teaspoon Lemon Zest
0.5 teaspoon Honey
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
Pinch of Salt
Pinch of Black Pepper
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Pat the salmon fillet dry with a paper towel. Season lightly with a pinch of salt and black pepper on both sides.
In a small bowl, combine the crushed pistachios with a pinch of salt and pepper. Press this mixture gently onto the top of the salmon fillet to form a crust.
Place the crusted salmon on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with a teaspoon of olive oil to help enhance the crisping effect.
Bake the salmon for about 10-12 minutes, or until the fish is just cooked through and the crust is lightly toasted.
While the salmon bakes, prepare the citrus-ginger glaze. In a small saucepan over low heat, mix together the fresh orange juice, freshly grated ginger, lemon zest, and honey. Allow the mixture to simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.
Once the salmon is done, remove it from the oven and drizzle the warm glaze over the top. Serve immediately and enjoy the harmonious blend of savory salmon and zesty glaze.
