Ingredients

1 cup salted dry roasted pistachio nuts, chopped

1/2 cup packed brown sugar

3 tablespoons lemon juice

1 teaspoon dried dillweed

1 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper

6 6 ounces skinless salmon fillets

1/4 cup purchased basil pesto (optional)

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. In a small bowl combine pistachio nuts, brown sugar, lemon juice, dillweed, and pepper; set aside.

2. Place salmon fillets in a greased, foil-lined 15x10x1-inch baking pan. Measure thickness of fish. Spoon pistachio mixture evenly on each fillet. Gently press in place to form a crust.
