This Recipe is Nuts!

Happy Monday, friends!

I hope your day was magical and the week is off to a great start!

Mondays around here are the new Sunday. For some reason, I just get in a better groove with my meal prep process on Mondays since the weekends have been pretty hectic. Welcome to summer where a million things always seem to be happening at once! Since I don’t coach on Mondays and reserve this day to catch up with my personal clients and ongoing to do list, it just made sense to switch this important part of my routine.

On this week’s meal plan is one of my go to recipes, one that whenever I make it I get bombarded with requests for me to share it. It’s my beloved Pistachio Crusted Salmon, and it is so easy and delicious you’ll want to make it a staple in your meal plan, especially if you love salmon as much as I do. Here’s how you make it!

Katie’s Pistachio Crusted Salmon

What You Need:

-Salmon filets, about 6oz each

-1/3 cup light sour cream

-1/4 cup light mayo or olive oil mayo

-1/3 cup fresh basil, chopped

-1/3 cup fresh dill, chopped

-salt and pepper to taste

-juice of 1 lemon

-1 tsp dijon mustard

-2 garlic cloves, minced

-1/2 cup -3/4 cup pistachios, finely chopped

How to Make it:

Preheat oven to 375. Line a baking sheet with foil, spraying with cooking spray before placing pieces of salmon on it (skin side down). Mix together sour cream, mayo, dill, garlic basil, lemon juice, and salt and pepper. Top each piece of salmon with mixture. I toss the pistachios into a food processor before topping each piece of salmon with a heaping spoonful. Make sure you press gently into mixture. Bake for about 15 minutes (depending on thickness of salmon).

**You can sub in greek yogurt in place of the mayo or sour cream if you prefer and adjust the herbs to your liking.....I like to go heavier with them.

Enjoy, and don’t forget to tag me on social if you make it so I know what you think @sparklefitnessbabe!
