Step 1

Start by heating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with foil and give it a quick spray with cooking spray to keep things from sticking. Melt the butter in a microwave-safe bowl—about 15 to 30 seconds should do it—then let it cool a bit before stirring in the grapeseed oil. Lay the salmon fillets skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet, then brush them generously with the butter and oil mixture. Sprinkle about 1 1/2 teaspoons of Greek seasoning evenly over each piece. In a small bowl, mix together the crushed pistachios, bread crumbs, and the remaining teaspoon of Greek seasoning. Press this mixture over the top of the salmon so it forms a nice crust. Pop the salmon in the oven and roast until it flakes easily with a fork, which should take around 20 minutes.

Good to know.

Cook's tip

- Use fresh pistachios for the best crunch and flavor.
- Pat the salmon dry before applying the crust to help it stick better.
- Roast on a wire rack to allow even heat circulation and prevent sogginess.

Why you’ll love it

This dish combines the rich, buttery flavor of salmon with the crunchy texture of pistachios. It’s a healthy option that feels indulgent. Plus, the roasting method keeps the fish moist and tender every time.

Serving ideas

Serve with a light citrus salad or steamed vegetables to balance the richness. A drizzle of lemon juice or a dollop of yogurt sauce complements the nutty crust nicely.

Storage & leftovers

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days. Reheat gently in the oven to keep the crust crisp, avoiding the microwave which can make it soggy.
