Ingredients

1/4 cup pistachios, finely chopped, plus more for garnish
1 teaspoon salt, divided
1/2 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
2 (4 oz) salmon fillets
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic, minced
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1/2 cup chicken broth
1/4 cup heavy whipping cream
2 teaspoons lemon zest
1/8 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
1/8 teaspoon ground white pepper

Instructions

In a shallow dish, combine the pistachios, 1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper. Dredge the salmon in the pistachio mixture, pressing gently to coat.
In a small skillet, heat the oil and garlic over medium heat. Add the salmon and cook until browned, about 2 to 3 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium; turn the salmon and cook until salmon flakes easily with fork, about 2 or 3 minutes more. Transfer the fillets to serving plates. Serve with Lemon Cream Sauce, and garnish with chopped pistachios, if desired.
