Pistachio Crusted Salmon
This pistachio crusted salmon is oven-baked until tender, coated in a creamy mustard sauce, and topped with a crunchy nut crust.
Ingredients
- 1 kg salmon fillet skin removed, cut into long strips
- Salt & black pepper
Mustard Cream Layer
- 2 tbsp mayonnaise
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 2 cloves garlic finely grated
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tbsp honey
Pistachio Crust
- 5 tbsp pistachios finely chopped
- 3 tbsp breadcrumbs
- 3 tbsp Finely chopped parsley
- ½ tsp salt
Instructions
- Prepare the salmon: Place the salmon strips in a baking dish lined with parchment paper. Season lightly with salt and black pepper.
- Make the sauce: In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, garlic, honey, and lemon juice until smooth.
- Coat the salmon: Spread a generous layer of the sauce evenly over each salmon strip.
- Add the pistachio crust: In a bowl, combine the chopped pistachios, breadcrumbs, salt, and parsley. Gently press the mixture onto the sauced salmon.
- Bake: Bake in a preheated oven at 190°C (375°F) for 20–22 minutes, until the salmon is just cooked through and the crust is lightly golden.
- Rest & serve: Let the salmon rest for 2–3 minutes before serving so the crust sets nicely.
