•
1/4 cup crushed pistachios

Combine pistachios, bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, and butter in a small bowl; stir with a fork until evenly combined.
3
Lightly season salmon fillets with salt and pepper on both sides.
4
Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Sear salmon fillets, flesh-side down, for 2 to 3 minutes. Turn heat off and flip salmon pieces over so skin side is down.
