Ingredients

  • 4 (5-6 oz.) boneless salmon fillets
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
  • Salt and pepper
  • 1 cup roasted salted, shelled pistachios, roughly chopped

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the fish, skin-side down, on the parchment. Drizzle 1 tablespoon butter over each fillet and season with a little salt and pepper. (The nuts are already salted, so you do not need a lot of salt.) Sprinkle the chopped pistachios over each fillet and then use your fingers to gently press the nuts down.

  • How to reheat: Reheat in a 300ºF preheated oven or air fryer for 5-10 minutes until warmed through. Alternatively, you can reheat in the microwave in 20-second increments until heated all the way through.
