Introduction
This salmon is my go-to! It’s simple and quick to prepare, and honestly, any nut-encrusted fish is my fave. The nuttiness and texture the pistachios bring to the recipe are amazing. The tanginess of the lemon paired with a touch of sweetness complements the salmon perfectly. I added lemon zest for extra zestiness, which really brightens the flavors.
