Ingredients
- 1/2 Salmon Filet
- 1/2 cup Pistachios crushed
- 1 tbsp. Toasted Sesame
- 1 tsp. Cumin
- 1 tsp. Coriander
- 1 Lemon Zested
- Salt & Pepper to taste if needed
- 2 tsp Olive Oil
Instructions
- Prep your grill for indirect heat and set it to 300 degrees.
- Place a greased cooling rack over a baking sheet. Remove the salmon from the packaging, rinse if needed, and pat it very dry. Remove any pin bones if needed.
- In a food processor, pulse the pistachios to make them finer. It's OK if there are still some larger pieces, this will add some dimension and texture to the dish.
- Combine all the remaining ingredients with the pistachios and mix until combine.
- Lightly coat the salmon flesh (skin side down on the rack) with olive oil and then do a thin, even coating over the top.
- Place the baking sheet onto the cooler side of the grill and cook it indirectly until the thickest part reaches 425 degrees.
