Ingredients

  • 4 (6-oz) Stew's Naked Atlantic Salmon Fillets, skin on
  • 1/2 cup crushed Stew's Pistachios
  • 5 Tbsp. Stew's Panko Breadcrumbs
  • 1 teaspoon grated Lemon zest
  • 1 tablespoon Stew's Fresh Grated Parmigiano Reggiano Cheese
  • Stew's Kosher Salt
  • Fine Ground Black Pepper
  • 2 Tbsp. Stew's 100% Italian Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 2 Tbsp. Dijon Mustard, divided
  • 2 Tbsp. Vegetable Oil
  • Lemon wedges, for serving

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F.

  2. In a small bowl, combine the pistachios, breadcrumbs, lemon zest, grated cheese, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper. Add the olive oil and 1 Tbsp. of the Dijon mustard and stir until all is evenly combined.

  3. Place salmon fillets skin side down on a work surface. Brush tops with the remaining mustard and sprinkle with a pinch of kosher salt and pepper.

  4. Press the pistachio mixture on top of the mustard on each fillet.

  5. Heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat in a large heavy, ovenproof pan. Once oil is very hot, add the salmon fillets, skin side down, and sear 3-4 minutes, without turning, to brown the skin.

  6. Transfer to the preheated oven for 5-7 minutes until salmon is cooked to desired doneness and pistachio mixture is lightly browned. Remove from oven and serve with the lemon wedges.
