Baked salmon fillet topped with a crust of crushed pistachios, served on a beige plate with olive oil and sauce in the background.

Is one whom eats fish, and only fish, as of recently from complete vegetarianism…still a vegetarian? THAT is the question. In the process of my many recent experimentations with fish…this one has turned out soooo good, I am posting this recipe, after just having eaten it, moments ago.

Plus- it sounds really complicated and fancy schmancy…but it is reallllly easy.

Ready

  • Wild Salmon (how much ever you want)
  • Miso Dressing and/or Chinese Chicken Salad dressing
  • Oil (Olive, Flax or Grape Seed are my favorites…for this I recommend Grape Seed)
  • Pistachios, finely chopped (or *pounded-see below)
  • Fresh Garlic, pressed (optional)

    • Set

  • Baking Dish
  • Ziploc baggy
  • Something that can *pound things into small pieces (get creative)
  • Marinade dish
  • Garlic press (optional)

    • Go!

  • Pre-heat oven to 375°F.
  • Grease baking dish with oil. Hopefully your salmon is fresh, if not, thaw it out.
  • Place dressing/s in marinade dish and add garlic (depending on brand use, marinade will be thick or thin…if too thick add some oil).
  • Place in salmon and turn every few minutes…I like to do this for around 15.
  • While those minutes are going by, place pistachios in the ziploc baggy, close tightly, and POUND them…with something. You want them in tiny pieces rather than too fine.
  • Place pieces on a small plate. Remove salmon from marinade and dip on both sides into nuts (usually about a half cup per fillet). Spread evenly with your fingers if you have to.
  • Bake for 22-27 minutes, or until desired tenderness.

    • Recommendations

    I sliced some potatoes and squash, julienne, and lined the outside of the pan with them…covering them in just a little garlic powder, salt and Grape Seed Oil before…so meal was done all in one…voila!
