Description

A tasty and healthy main dish that’s on the table in twenty minutes


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb. salmon fillet (preferably wild salmon)
  • 1/4 cup pistachios, finely chopped
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons cilantro, chopped
  • 2 teaspoons marjoram
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.  Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.  In a small bowl, mix together the pistachios, cilantro, salt, pepper, lemon zest, and lemon juice.
  2. Put the salmon fillet on the baking sheet and top with the pistachio mixture.  Use your hand or the back of  spoon to evenly distribute the mixture across the salmon fillet.
  3. Bake in the preheated oven for 8-15 minutes, depending on the thickness of your fish.  Definitely check it after 8 minutes–you don’t want a dry fillet!  When the salmon easily flakes off with a fork, it is ready.  Enjoy!
