Ingredients

  • ¼ cup crushed pistachios
  • 2 tablespoons panko bread crumbs
  • 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon butter, melted
  • 4 (6 ounce) fillets salmon with skin, center cut
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 4 lemon wedges

Directions

Step 1
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

Step 2
Combine pistachios, bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, and butter in a small bowl; stir with a fork until evenly combined.

Step 3
Lightly season salmon fillets with salt and pepper on both sides.

Step 4
Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Sear salmon fillets, flesh-side down, for 2 to 3 minutes. Turn heat off and flip salmon pieces over so skin side is down.

Step 5
Brush tops of salmon evenly with Dijon mustard. Top with pistachio mixture, pressing mixture down onto salmon.

Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven until salmon flakes easily with a fork, 10 to 12 minutes. Serve with lemon wedges.

Tips

Salmon fillets that are 1- to 1 1/4-inch thick work best.
