5-Ingredient Pistachio Crusted Salmon

coconut milk

Thai green curry (see notes)

soy sauce (gluten-free or coco aminos, if needed)

pistachios

salmon fillets

olive oil

Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Bring the coconut milk, Thai green curry paste, and soy sauce to a boil in a small pot. Lower the heat and let it simmer gently, uncovered, whisking occasionally until it reduces to 1 cup.

Finely chop the pistachios by hand or using a small food processor. Lay the salmon, skin side down, on the prepared baking sheet, and cover with the pistachios, pressing them firmly into the salmon so that they stick. Drizzle the top of the salmon with the oil. Bake the salmon for 8-10 minutes, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 140 degrees Fahrenheit and is soft and just barely starts to flake.

Make a pool of the green curry sauce on four plates and top with the pistachio crusted salmon.

This is genuinely my go to recipe right now! It is so stinkin' good!

This is my new absolute favorite way to make and eat salmon! My family raved about this and I cannot wait to make it again! Thank you so much for sharing this recipe!

Absolutely loved this recipe. I’ve made it multiple times and have had requests from friends for the recipe and told them where I got it and they now incorporate this into their meal rotation as well. Thank you so much for sharing such a wonderful recipe.

I made this recipe from the cookbook with the roasted broccoli.  OMG, it was awesome.  This was the best salmon I ever had.  Hubby agreed.  A must try

This is one of the best salmon recipes I have ever used! The pistachio topping stuck together nicely to create a crust. I used orange juice instead of lemon, so the flavour was slightly sweet which was nice!

DIVINE.  Served it with asparagus and the mango salsa recipe you posted. Will definitely make this again. So simple and so so good

This was one of the recipes I tried with my "salmon sampler platter" when I had too much salmon and had to cook it all at once. Though I didn't have pistachios on hand, I used the suggested substitute with crushed up almonds. This recipe was especially interesting! The sweetness of the maple syrup tickled my tongue, and the crunch of the nuts was a treat! I'll be making this again, but I'll be ready with pistachios next time just to see which we like better.

Delicious.  Moist and flavourful and so easy to make with ingredients I always have on hand. Will definitely make again.
