Ingredients
vegetable oil
4 salmon fillets, each about 250 g, preferably 1-in. thick
3 tbsp grainy Dijon mustard
3 tbsp pure maple syrup
generous pinch salt
generous pinch ground black pepper
1/4 cup finely chopped pistachios
Instructions
Preheat oven to 475F (240C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil. If salmon is skinless, lightly spray or brush foil with vegetable oil. If skin is on salmon, do not oil. Place salmon skin side down on foil. In a small bowl, stir mustard with maple syrup, salt and pepper. Evenly spread mustard mixture overtop fish.
Roast in centre of preheated oven until a knife tip inserted about 1/2 inch (2 cm) into thickest parts of fish comes out warm. This will take 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from oven and place fillets on warm dinner plates. For salmon with skin, insert a wide metal spatula between skin and flesh, leaving skin on foil. Gently press pistachios into coating on fish.
