How to Make Salmon with Horseradish Pistachio Crust
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C), setting the stage for beautifully roasted salmon.
  2. Mix the creamy goodness by combining the sour cream, olive oil, dry bread crumbs, chopped pistachios, minced shallots, horseradish, dill, zest, red pepper flakes, and garlic in a medium bowl. Stir until everything is well blended into a delightful paste.
  3. Prepare the salmon fillets by placing them skin-side down on a baking sheet. Generously spread the crust mixture over the top of each fillet.
  4. Bake in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes or until the salmon is cooked through and the crust turns a lovely golden color.
