Step by step preparation

Step1

Preheat oven to 200 °C (400 °F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and brush with oil.

Step2

Chop the pistachios into small pieces (not powder). Mix with breadcrumbs, dill, and lemon zest.

Step3

In a small bowl, combine the mustard and honey into a smooth glaze.

Step4

Season the salmon fillets on both sides and place them on the baking sheet. Generously brush the top of each fillet with the mustard-honey glaze.

Step5

Press the pistachio crust firmly onto the glaze so it adheres well.

Step6

Bake 12-14 minutes, until the crust is golden and the salmon flakes easily with a fork. Serve immediately with lemon wedges.
