My two favorite things in a recipe. Salmon and pistachios. For Christmas last year, I had one box under the Christmas tree from my parents. It was a gift card and a bag of Costco pistachios. Best.Christmas.Ever. My parents know me a little too well. And it was my dad who got our family addicted to pistachios. And sunflower seeds. But that is a whole different obsession. Hmmm sunflower seed salmon. 🙂
How could you not love pistachios? They are amazing! This salmon combined so many amazing flavors. The dill, lemon, brown sugar, and pistachios combined perfectly to give it an amazing salty sweet taste. I love grilling salmon because it takes less than 10 minutes and peels apart with your fork.
Uh-mazing!

Heat a grill to medium-high heat.
Combine the pistachios, sugar, lemon juice, dill, and pepper in a medium bowl.
Spoon the pistachio mixture evenly over each salmon fillet. Press the mixture gently onto the salmon.
Place the salmon on the hot grill. Cover the grill with the lid and grill the salmon for 5 to 10 minutes or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
To grill the salmon, I used a grilling basket lined it with aluminum foil thensprayed it with cooking spray. The salmon was able to grill in the juices and I didn't lose any pistachios. It turned out amazing!
