For a richer flavor, try using toasted pistachios. Simply toast the pistachios in a dry pan over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, or until fragrant, before chopping. If you prefer a crispier crust, you can broil the salmon for the last 1-2 minutes of cooking, keeping a close eye to prevent burning. Serve this Pistachio-Crusted Salmon with a side of roasted asparagus or a fresh green salad for a complete and balanced meal.
