How to make it

If you don't have any pistachios on hand, feel free to use chopped cashews, pecans, almonds and even peanuts. All of these nuts make a great crust for salmon.

Ingredients Overview:

This recipe requires a fresh salmon fillet and a few simple ingredients:

• Salmon fillet
• Olive oil
• Honey (or maple syrup)
• Fresh garlic
• Salt and pepper
• Chopped pistachios

Steps Overview:

Pat the salmon fillet dry and rub the flesh with a touch of olive oil.

In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic cloves with honey and spread over the salmon. Season with salt and pepper and press the chopped pistachios onto the salmon flesh.

Bake the salmon in the oven for approximately 15 minutes and it will come out with a moist and juicy flesh.

If you are using a smaller fillet make sure to check the fish earlier than the suggested time as a smaller fillet will cook faster.

Steam some fresh veggies to serve with the salmon and you'll have yourself a quick, easy and delicious meal.
