INGREDIENTS
5 oz Salmon Fillet
1/4 cup Shelled Unsalted Pistachios
Juice of 1/2 medium Orange
1 tsp Fresh Ginger, grated
1 tsp Lemon Zest
1 tsp Olive Oil
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Pat the 5 oz salmon fillet dry with paper towels and season lightly with salt and pepper.
In a food processor, pulse the pistachios until coarsely ground. Set aside.
Brush the salmon lightly with olive oil. Press the ground pistachios onto the top surface of the salmon to form a crust.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Place the salmon, pistachio side down, and cook for about 3-4 minutes until the crust is golden and crispy.
Flip the salmon carefully and continue cooking for another 3-4 minutes until the fish is cooked through.
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the fresh orange juice, grated ginger, and lemon zest to create the citrus-ginger glaze.
Once the salmon is done, drizzle the citrus-ginger glaze over the fillet just before serving to add a tangy, aromatic finish.
Plate the salmon and garnish with additional lemon zest or a few sprigs of fresh herbs if desired.
