    Pistachio and Herb Crusted Salmon is a heart healthy restaurant meal at home but full of heart healthy fat, whole grains, and antioxidants 

    Salmon, pistachios, garlic, parsley, and whole wheat bread - all heart healthy ingredients:

    • Salmon is an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids, Vitamin D, and Vitamin B12
    • Pistachios are full of heart-healthy fat, potassium, Vitamin B6, fiber, and phytosterols (compounds that help block the absorption of cholesterol)
    • Parsley contains antioxidants, Vitamin K, and folate (which can help reduce your risk of heart attacks & strokes)
    • Garlic has been shown to help reduce blood pressure and decrease LDL (bad) cholesterol
    • Whole wheat bread is a whole grain and full of heart-healthy fiber

    Basically, this recipe is a lot of heart-healthy things in one meal!

    But who cares if there are a lot of beneficial nutrients or whatever in something if it doesn't taste good?

    Food isn't just about good nutrition; it needs to taste and look pretty, too {in my opinion}. Well, I think this meal looks like something from a restaurant.

    I know salmon isn't a top choice on most people's favorite restaurant meals, but even if you don't like salmon, this is really good! And it looks like it took a lot of effort, but it's easy!

    I like to serve it with a salad, usually a spinach salad, and some roasted potatoes (full of heart-healthy potassium). You could also roast any other vegetable to serve with your salmon.

    Ingredients

    • 3 slices whole grain bread torn
    • 1 cup fresh parsley
    • ½ cup shelled pistachios
    • 1 clove garlic minced
    • 1 tablespoon olive oil
    • ¾ teaspoon salt divided
    • ¼ teaspoon ground pepper
    • 4 (4-6 ounces) salmon fillets skinless, preferably wild, Alaskan salmon
    • 2 tablespoon Dijon mustard

    Instructions

    • Preheat oven to 450°. Line a baking sheet with parchment or aluminum foil, and set aside.
    • In a food processor, combine bread, parsley, pistachios, garlic, olive oil, salt-free seasoning, ¼ teaspoon salt and pepper. Pulse until coarse crumbs form.
    • Place salmon on prepared sheet. Spread fillets with Dijon mustard. Sprinkle remaining ½ teaspoon salt on salmon, and press the bread crumb mixture onto all sides of the salmon. Make sure it sticks to the salmon.
    • Bake until the salmon is cooked & opaque throughout, 12 to 15 minutes. Enjoy!
