Description

Nutty pistachios add color and crunch when sprinkled on salmon. The cream sauce gives the dish a lemony smooth finish. —Ann Baker, Texarkana, Texas

We SERIOUSLY loved this! Our family is a huge pistachio fan so I wasnt surprised everyone loved them on salmon. My favorite was the sauce... so good and great with some steamed veggies and rice for sides!

This is wicked good. I followed the recipe exactly except I omitted the salt. I couldve eaten the whole salmon filet by myself! I served the lemon sauce over red potatoes and saut?ed kale. Amazing.

I made this recipe just as it called out. The second time I made it I tried Verlasso salmon, which gave the recipe a richer flavor. This recipe needs no changes except tiny seasoning changes to taste, thats it. I made cheddar drop biscuits and steamed winter veggies to go with it, It was incredible. This is a new family favorite!

This was really delicious and I will definitely make again. Just one thing - the pistachios I used were already salted, so I should have omitted sprinkling the salt on the salmon as it turned out a little too salty.

This turned out excellent!!! It was moist, creamy and had my favorite nut on there. I have four kids that ate it down faster than ice-cream. No left overs :)

We loved the recipe. I didn't include the shallots in the sauce. We loved the nutty taste of the pistachios and creamy sauce with the salmon. Easy to make, yet looks very elegant.

I loved this recipe!!! We cook salmon all of the time and now this is one of our favorites. Very simple to make...didn't change a thing and it was yummy!

This was so good. we had Broccoli with it and the sauce was good on it also

This recipe was EXCELLENT! My husband and I are definitely planning to put this on our list of recipes to make again. The flavor was astounding and the sauce was rich and creamy!
