Salmon lover? Me, too! This pistachio-crusted salmon recipe is the perfect weeknight meal. And the high-protein recipe is ready in less than 30 minutes. Seriously. Bonus: it's healthy and delicious!
To make this easy pistachio-crusted baked salmon recipe you only need six simple ingredients. Here is your short shopping list for this seafood dinner: fresh salmon (read about the health benefits of salmon), stone-ground mustard, fresh lemons for juicing, pistachios (check out the health benefits of pistachios), olive oil and panko breadcrumbs (regular or gluten-free). The fish bakes up in about 15 to 20 minutes in the oven.
Serve this moist fish that's full of flavor and textures for dinner with your favorite side dishes. We like a grain and a fresh vegetable on the side.
Cuisine: American
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Total Time: 30 minutes
Servings: 4 to 6
Ingredients:
- 2 - 3 pounds salmon
- 4 tablespoons stone-ground mustard
- 2 lemons, juiced
- 1 cup pistachios (shelled)
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
Here's how you make it:
- Mix together the lemon juice and mustard. (You could use any type of mustard that you like.)
- Place salmon skin-side down on a large baking sheet. (For easier cleanup cover the baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil.) Spread mustard mixture on top of salmon and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- In a food processor, blend the pistachios and breadcrumbs. Slowly add in the oil. Blend until the entire mixture is wet. (For a gluten-free dinner, use gluten-free breadcrumbs.)
- Cover the salmon with an even layer of the pistachio spread.
- Bake for 15 to 20 minutes in a preheated 375-degree F oven. (Cooking time will depend on how you like your salmon cooked. I like mine medium rare). Keep in mind that once you take the fish out it continues to cook, so let it rest for a few minutes. Serve hot.
