👨‍🍳 Method

  1. 1
    Preheat the oven to 200°C (390°F) and line a baking pan with parchment paper.
    ⚙ Preheating the OvenOven
    💡Put things in the oven only once it's reached temperature, after the heating light has gone off: an oven that hasn't reached temperature changes baking times, and the bake burns outside or stays underbaked.
  2. 2
    Mix the pistachios, butter, honey, lemon juice and garlic into an even mixture.
    Bowl
  3. 3
    Place the salmon fillet in the baking pan and sprinkle the salt and black pepper over it.
    Baking pan
  4. 4
    Spread a thick layer of the mixture of the pistachios on each piece.
  5. 5
    Roast the salmon fillet in a hot oven (200°C / 390°F) 15–18 minutes, until the coating is golden and the salmon is cooking.

    💡A fillet is done when the flesh is opaque even in the thickest part and flakes when pressed with a fork; a few more minutes in the oven and it dries out.
