Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon butter, melted
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese
• salt and ground black pepper to taste
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 2 tablespoons panko bread crumbs
• 4 lemon wedges

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

Step 2

Lightly season salmon fillets with salt and pepper on both sides.

Step 3

Bake in the preheated oven until salmon flakes easily with a fork, 10 to 12 minutes. Serve with lemon wedges.

Step 4

Combine pistachios, bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, and butter in a small bowl; stir with a fork until evenly combined.

Step 5

Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Sear salmon fillets, flesh-side down, for 2 to 3 minutes. Turn heat off and flip salmon pieces over so skin side is down.

Step 6

Brush tops of salmon evenly with Dijon mustard. Top with pistachio mixture, pressing mixture down onto salmon.
