Preparation

Step 1 Prepare Sockeye Salmon
* Defrost frozen Alaska sockeye salmon which has been frozen just after harvest at the peak of freshness!*
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- Roughly chop pistachios or pulse using a food processor. Place in a large bowl or plate and add breadcrumbs. Mix together.
- In a medium bowl, combine greek yogurt, mustard, honey, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Whisk to combine.
- Brush mixture on top and sides of salmon fillets. Then, place into pistachio breadcrumb mixture and gently press to coat.
-
Step 2 Cook Sockeye Salmon & Serve
- Place onto a lined baking sheet.
- Bake for approximately 10-12 minutes depending on size and thickness of fillets. I personally remove at 125 – 130 degrees.
- Let rest for 5 minutes and serve with simple mixed green salad. Enjoy!
