Salmon With Snap Peas, Yellow Peppers, And Dill-Pistachio Pistou
- 1/3 cup chopped fresh dill
- 1/3 cup finely chopped green onions (about 2)
- 1/2 cup shelled natural pistachios or almonds, toasted, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup plus 1 1/2 tablespoons pistachio oil or extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 yellow bell peppers or orange bell peppers, cut into 1/2-inch strips
- 1 pound sugar snap peas, trimmed, strings removed
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1/4 cup water
- 4 6-ounce salmon fillets
- Mix dill, green onions, pistachios, and 1/4 cup oil in medium bowl. Season to taste with salt and pepper. DO AHEAD:
- Heat 1/2 tablespoon oil in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add peppers and saute until beginning to soften, about 2 minutes. Add snap peas, garlic, and 1/4 cup water; sprinkle with salt. Saute until vegetables are just tender and water evaporates, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in 1 rounded tablespoon pistou. Transfer vegetables to platter; tent with foil to keep warm. Reserve skillet (do not clean).
- Heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil in reserved skillet over medium-high heat. Sprinkle salmon with salt and pepper. Place salmon, skin side down, in skillet; cook until skin is crisp, about 3 minutes. Turn salmon and cook until almost opaque in center, about 3 minutes longer. Arrange salmon fillets over vegetables on platter. Spoon some pistou down center of each fillet and serve, passing remaining pistou alongside.
