Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 Salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)
  • 1/2 cup shelled pistachios, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel. Season both sides lightly with salt and pepper.
  3. Spread the chopped pistachios evenly on a shallow plate.
  4. Brush the top side of each salmon fillet lightly with olive oil.
  5. Press the oiled side of the salmon firmly into the chopped pistachios to create a crust.
  6. Place the crusted salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet, pistachio-side up.
  7. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
  8. While the salmon bakes, prepare the dill sauce. In a small bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, chopped dill, lemon juice, and Dijon mustard. Mix well.
  9. Serve the warm pistachio-crusted salmon immediately with the fresh dill sauce on the side or drizzled over top.

Notes

  • You can substitute walnuts or almonds for pistachios if you prefer.
  • For an extra bright flavor, add a small pinch of lemon zest to the dill sauce.
  • This dish pairs wonderfully with roasted asparagus or a simple green salad.
