Ingredients

1 lb salmon wild
1/3 cup pistachio unsalted chopped
3 cloves garlic minced
2 tsp breadcrumbs panko
2 tsp lemon zest
1 tbsp honey
1½ tbsp dijon mustard
3 tbsp lemon juice

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375°F.
Start by mixing together the garlic, chopped pistachios, breadcrumbs and lemon zest. Place the pistachio mixture on a plate, making sure to even it.
In a bowl, mix together the mustard, honey and lemon juice.
Place the salmon skin side up on top of the pistachios mixture and press it gently to make sure the mix adheres to the salmon fillets.
Place salmon fillets skin side down on top of parchment paper and pop it in the oven, for 10-15 minutes. Bake it until the internal temperature reaches between 125 to 130 degrees Fahrenheit in the center of the fish.
Place the fish on a plate and serve with a fennel, radish and greens salad.
