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.

I have never been great at cooking fish dishes. I ran across this recipe while thumbing through a magazine. I tried it. It was very good. While it is was relatively low carb I changed a few ingredients to lower the carbs further. This version is every bit as good as the original.

Tips:

  • Choose the right salmon fillet. Look for a fillet that is at least 1 inch thick and has a deep pink color. Avoid fillets that are thin or have a pale color, as they will be more likely to overcook.
  • Make sure the salmon is properly cooked. The best way to check if the salmon is cooked through is to insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the fillet. The salmon is cooked when it reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Use fresh lemon juice. Fresh lemon juice will give the sauce a brighter flavor than bottled lemon juice.
  • Don't overcook the sauce. The sauce should be cooked just until it is thickened. Overcooking the sauce will make it too thick and gloppy.
  • Serve the salmon immediately. The salmon is best served immediately after it is cooked. If you need to keep the salmon warm, you can place it in a warm oven (200 degrees Fahrenheit) for up to 15 minutes.

Conclusion:

Pistachio-crusted salmon with lemon cream sauce is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion. The salmon is cooked to perfection and the lemon cream sauce is rich and flavorful. This dish is sure to impress your guests.
