Yesterday, I got my inspiration from Baroness Tapuzina’s lovely blog, and this particular recipe just lured me right in. It is quite easy to prepare, and very high on flavor. Not to mention, it’s very healthful, too. Thank you Baroness, and I love your blog. Enjoy!
Pistachio-crusted salmon
4 salmon fillets
2 tablespoons whole-grain mustard
1/2 cup raw shelled pistachios
1/4 cup toasted breadcrumbs
Grind the pistachios to a medium-fine texture in your food processor. Mix with the breadcrumbs.
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F. Coat the top of each fillet with the mustard, and then cover the top with the pistachio mixture, pressing topping into the salmon. Drizzle each fillet with a small amount of olive oil.
Place in a pan lightly sprayed with non-stick spray, and bake for 10 – 15 minutes, until the fish is lightly pink in the middle. Serves 4.
This actually looks pretty interesting to me. I’m doing salmon on Sunday but with a marinade. This one will be next on my list. I really like the idea of crunch on the outside and smooth on the inside.
I am glad you enjoyed it. It is one of my favourites.
