PISTACHIO CRUSTED SALMON

Provided by Robert Irvine : Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

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

Steps:

  • 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.
  • Remember the fish needs to rest outside of the oven for at least 5 minutes. It will continue to cook, so remove the salmon from the oven with this in mind. Enjoy.

Tips:

  • Choose the right salmon fillet: Look for a fillet that is about 1 inch thick and has no bones.
  • Make sure the pistachio crust is evenly coated: Press the pistachio mixture firmly onto the salmon fillet so that it adheres well.
  • Cook the salmon at a high temperature: This will help to create a crispy crust and prevent the salmon from overcooking.
  • Use a non-stick skillet: This will help to prevent the salmon from sticking to the pan.
  • Serve the salmon immediately: Pistachio-crusted salmon is best served hot out of the oven.

Conclusion:

Pistachio-crusted salmon is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a special occasion. The pistachio crust adds a unique flavor and texture to the salmon, and the lemon-butter sauce is the perfect complement. Whether you are a seasoned cook or a beginner, you are sure to love this recipe.
