How to prepare Salmon in Pistachio Crust

To prepare the salmon in pistachio crust, first cut 4 salmon fillets of about 7 oz each 1. In a baking dish, pour the eggs and season with salt 2 and pepper 3.

Beat the eggs with a fork 4 and flavor with some fresh thyme leaves 5. In a skillet, let a splash of oil infuse with fresh thyme and a clove of garlic 6.

Pass the salmon fillets first in flour 7 and then in the beaten eggs 8. Finally, cover them with crushed pistachios 9.

Ensure that the crushed pistachios adhere well to all sides of the salmon 10. Place the fillets in the skillet 11 and cook over medium heat for about 10 minutes 12.

After this time, turn them over and continue cooking for another 10 minutes on the other side (cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the fillet) 13. When the salmon is ready and the crust is golden, scent with more fresh thyme 14. Your salmon in pistachio crust is ready to be served 15!
