Ingredients
  

  • 2 salmon portions 6 ounces each
  • salt and black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon dijon mustard
  • ¼ cup pistachios crushed
  • ¼ cup parmesan cheese grated
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon butter melted
  • 1 lemon sliced
  • parsley chopped, optional

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking dish with parchment paper and place the salmon skin side down. Season with salt and pepper and spread dijon mustard on top.
  • In a small bowl, combine pistachios, parmesan cheese, garlic and melted butter.
  • Spoon the mixture over the salmon and gently press the topping on the salmon.
  • Bake for 8-12 minutes depending on the thickness of your salmon. Broil if desired to brown the top.
  • Garnish with parsley and serve with a squeeze of lemon.

Notes

  • Cooking times will vary depending on the thickness of your salmon.
  • I personally like my salmon medium rare - medium around 125-135°F.
