Pistachio Crusted Salmon
- 1 (2 to 3-pound) side salmon, skin on
- 2 lemons, juiced
- 4 tablespoons stone-ground mustard
- 1 cup shelled pistachio nuts
- 1/2 cup panko bread crumbs
- 4 tablespoons canola oil
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Arrange the side of salmon on an oven proof baking sheet, skin side down.
- Mix the lemon juice and mustard together in a small bowl and spread sparingly over the top of the salmon.
- Coarsely grind the pistachios in a food processer.
- Add the panko bread crumbs, the oil and salt and pepper, to taste.
- (The bread crumbs should be slightly wet, as it helps the stick to the salmon.)
- Sprinkle the pistachio mixture over the mustard to cover the salmon evenly.
- Put in the preheated oven and bake until the salmon reaches the correct doneness, about 15 to 20 minutes.
- Remove from the oven to a serving platter.
