Nothing says sophistication like a nut-crusted salmon fillet – who knew it was so easy, too! This pistachio crusted salmon offers another impressive yet simple dinner recipe.
Salmon: Delicious, flaky salmon is the star of the show! Other ingredients: Pecans, sea salt, paprika, black pepper, butter, garlic cloves, ginger, maple syrup, and lemon.
Fresh is best: While frozen salmon can be a great option depending on what is available where you live, fresh always tastes great! Check your local seafood counter and ask what’s fresh. Wild caught: Wild caught generally has a better flavor and nutritional profile compared to farmed salmon. If choosing farmed salmon, look for those that are sustainably sourced – check the label for indications of how it was sourced or farmed. Thickness: Choose salmon fillets that are evenly thick to ensure even cooking. Around one inch of thickness works well. Ask questions: If in doubt, don’t be shy to chat to your fishmonger. They’ll have valuable insight about the freshness or origin of your salmon filets!
