Looking for a healthy salmon recipe that’s packed with flavour and natural nutrition? This Pistachio & Hemp Crusted Salmon combines tender oven-baked salmon with a crunchy pistachio crust, finished with Fox Covert Farm Hemp Hearts for added texture and wholesome goodness.
Award-winning Fox Covert Farm Hemp Hearts are naturally rich in complete plant protein, fibre and essential omega-3 & omega-6 fatty acids. Sprinkled over the salmon after cooking, they retain their delicate nutty flavour while adding a simple nutritional boost to this restaurant-quality meal.
Preheat the oven to 180°C (fan) and line a baking tray with parchment paper. In a bowl, combine the olive oil, crushed pistachios, parsley, lemon juice, salt and black pepper until evenly mixed.
Arrange the salmon darnes skin-side down on the prepared tray. Spoon the pistachio mixture over each piece and gently press it into place to create an even crust.
Bake for approximately 15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and the pistachio topping is lightly golden and crisp.
While the salmon is baking, combine the natural yoghurt, olive oil, lemon juice, chopped dill, salt and black pepper in a bowl. Stir until smooth and creamy.
