Pistachio-Crusted Salmon with Lemon-Herb Salad
Oven-roasted salmon topped with a crunchy pistachio crust and served with a bright lemon-herb salad for a crisp and satisfying finish.
INGREDIENTS
6.5 oz Salmon fillet
0.5 oz Shelled pistachios
1 tbsp Dijon mustard
0.25 tsp Sea salt
0.25 tsp Black pepper
2 cup Mixed baby greens
0.5 cup Sliced cucumber
0.5 cup Cherry tomatoes
1 tsp Extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp Fresh lemon juice
1 tbsp Chopped fresh parsley
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Finely chop the shelled pistachios using a knife or small food processor until they reach a coarse crumb consistency.
Season the salmon fillet with sea salt and black pepper then spread the Dijon mustard evenly over the top of the fish.
Press the crushed pistachios firmly into the mustard layer to create a solid and even crust.
Bake the salmon for twelve to fifteen minutes depending on thickness until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
In a medium bowl whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, fresh lemon juice, and chopped parsley to create a zesty dressing.
Add the mixed baby greens, sliced cucumber, and cherry tomatoes to the bowl and toss gently to coat before serving alongside the salmon.
