- Preheat the Oven: Arrange your baking rack to the top third of the oven and preheat your oven to 400F (200C).
- Prepare the Mayo Mixture: In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, orange zest, and freshly grated garlic until well combined.
- Make the Pistachio Crust: In another bowl, mix together the Panko breadcrumbs, ground pistachios (grind in a personal blender or food processor to a course crumb texture), Parmesan cheese, dried thyme, and fresh parsley.
- Prepare the Salmon: Place the salmon fillets on a rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Lightly season the fillets with salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste.
- Assemble the Dish: Spread the mayo mixture evenly over the top of the salmon fillets. Then, sprinkle the pistachio breadcrumb mixture generously over the top of each fillet, pressing down gently to ensure it sticks. For an extra crispy finish, drizzle the salmon lightly with olive oil.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and the crust is golden brown. If you'd like the crust extra crispy, finish the salmon under the broiler for 1 to 2 minutes on low heat, keeping a close eye on it to avoid burning.
- Serve: Once your salmon is perfectly crispy and golden, remove it from the oven and serve immediately. Use a fish spatula or metal spatula and gently remove the flesh from the skin being careful not to remove the pistachio crust. Pair with asparagus or a fresh salad for a light, well-rounded meal.
