Pistachio-Crusted Salmon Recipe
Ingredients:
- 6g green tea bbq seasonings
- 4 salmon fillets (about 6 ounces each)
- 1 cup pistachios, shelled and roughly chopped
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
- Lemon wedges, for serving
Instructions:
Prepare the Salmon Fillets:
- Start by seasoning the salmon fillets with the green tea bbq seasonings, a pinch of salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Let them sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes while you prepare the other ingredients.
Make the Pistachio Crust:
- In a shallow dish, combine the chopped pistachios, grated Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, and fresh lemon juice. Mix well to create a coarse, crumbly mixture that will serve as the crust for the salmon.
Coat the Salmon:
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. While the oil is heating, press the pistachio mixture onto both sides of each salmon fillet, ensuring an even coating.
Cook the Salmon:
- Carefully place the coated salmon fillets into the hot skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until the salmon is cooked to your desired level of doneness and the pistachio crust is golden brown and crispy.
Garnish and Serve:
- Once the salmon is cooked, remove it from the skillet and let it rest for a minute. Transfer the salmon fillets to a serving platter. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
Enjoy Your Pistachio-Crusted Salmon:
- Serve your delicious pistachio-crusted salmon as a main course. The combination of tender, juicy salmon, the crunchy pistachio crust, and the unique flavors of green tea bbq seasonings creates a delightful and satisfying meal. This dish is perfect for a special occasion or a dinner party. Enjoy!
