Step-by-Step Instructions for Pistachio Crusted Salmon

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare your baking dish or line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a food processor, pulse the roasted and salted pistachios until coarsely ground. Transfer to a shallow dish.
In a small bowl, whisk together the Dijon mustard and maple syrup until well blended. Season with salt and pepper.
Coat the salmon filets evenly with the maple Dijon mixture using a brush or spoon.
Press the coated salmon filets firmly into the crushed pistachios, ensuring a thick layer forms a crust.
Bake the salmon filets in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Remove from the oven and let the salmon rest for about 5 minutes before serving.
