Recipe Story
I know what you’re thinking. Any recipe with the word “crusted” in the title automatically sounds intimidating, complicated and “chefy.” Relax! Pistachio Crusted Salmon Filets are one of my favorite things to make for dinner parties because they have great stage presence and are ridiculously easy to prepare. With only three ingredients, you can scarcely call this a recipe. I promise you, if you can chop nuts, you can make this dish. Just make sure you don’t pulverize the pistachios, it’s important to walk that fine line between chopped nuts and pistachio dust. I use store bought, prepared pesto because I see no reason to make cooking a laborious chore. For more recipes visit: www.chefdavidlawrence.comIngredients
1 cup store-bought basil pesto sauce
4 (6 ounce) boneless, skinless salmon filets
1 1/2 cups unsalted pistachios, shelled, chopped
How to make Pistachio Crusted Salmon Filets
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Line a sheet pan with parchment paper. Spread pesto sauce over the salmon filets and press chopped pistachios into them to form a crust. Be generous with the pistachios, you want to form a good crust, any excess will just fall onto the baking sheet.
Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, depending on the size of the filets. My idea of the perfect salmon filet is slightly under cooked so you can still see that coraly pink trail running through the middle of the fish.

Pistacio crusted fish is a big fav here in California! Also hazelnut crusted fish is awesome-even Trader Joe's sells it crushed into a meal for breading.
Love salmon-but only wild salmon and the best is Copper River Salmon from Alaska freshly caught in May-July.
