Pistachio Lime Baked Salmon
Best Pistachio Lime Baked Salmon is a delicious seafood entree with 6 ingredients, an easy salmon recipe that comes together in 25 minutes.
Ingredients
- 1 large salmon filet, or 6 salmon filets, 6 ounces each
- 1 cup pistachio nuts (shelled, roasted & salted), chopped
- ½ cup dark brown sugar, packed, or coconut sugar
- 3 Tbsp. lime juice, fresh lime is best
- 2 Tbsp. dill weed, fresh or dried (double), or add both!
- 3 tsp. pepper, add more if you love pepper!
Instructions
- Prepare the salmon and place on a baking sheet (parchment paper) or 9×13 sprayed baking dish. (Preparing the salmon means I usually rinse the filets first.)
- After rinsing, pat salmon filets with paper towel to remove any excess water.
- Combine the rest of the ingredients in a small bowl. Spoon over the salmon.
- Bake at 425 for 12-15 minutes or until the fish is done.
- Don’t overcook the salmon. Use the back of a spatula to press down on the salmon to feel if it’s cooked. If the spongy feeling is gone, and the salmon is firm, then it is ready!
- Remove from the oven immediately and serve.
