Pistachio Crusted Salmon With Shaved Asparagus Salad

This pistachio crusted salmon is such an incredible dinner! Buttery, flaky fish with a flavorful, crunchy topping served alongside a shaved asparagus salad with parmesan. The perfect spring combo!

This pistachio crusted salmon is a fun and unique way to serve your favorite fish. It’s buttery and flakey and crunchy on top. Plus it’s paired with my new favorite spring salad that has already become a staple in this kitchen.

I love a meal like this. Filling and full of flavor.

Yes please. If you’re observing lent and looking for a new twist on the salmon you make each week, I highly suggest giving this recipe a go. It roasts quickly and is incredibly good.
