     WOW!!!! This recipe was the best salmon I've ever had. I served it with sauteed asparagus and mushrooms, added a touch more garlic and skipped the salt. It didn't need salt. My boyfriend is VERY impressed and threatened to eat the rest if my roommate doesn't get home soon. - 4/25/12

     I made this dish for my parents tonight and they loved it! I used tilapia and salmon. I liked the tilapia better! It is an awesome dish! - 3/1/09

     Great recipe! We made it today using tilapia fillets and spicy brown mustard, because that's what we had on hand. Definitely something we'll serve again. We're also going to try the topping on chicken tenderloins, soon. - 4/1/12

     A quick and easy way to pack incredible flavor into a fish fillet, chicken tenders, or pork cutlets. Just the right amount of elegance! No shallots... use yellow onion, or sprinkle with fresh chives. Omit the salt if the pistachios are salted. - 10/3/12

     I love my salmon very plain, but this crust would go really well with chicken breast or pork fillet, I think, so I'm saving the recipe. - 7/14/12

     My family and I love this! I used rice crispies crushed instead of breadcrumbs to make it gluten free. My salmon must have been thicker because I had to cook for 20 minutes. But AMAZING flavor! - 10/11/12

     I used pecans because that is what I had on hand was so good. - 10/4/12

     I tried this but left out the breadcrumbs...don't need them. I was able to get my daughterto eat the salmon and it is not her favorite fish!! - 2/27/09

     Loved the pistachios but really didn't care for the Dijon mustard. Will try it again using light mayo instead!

     Delicious! And pretty too! I will make this again and again. I might even try it with Tilapia. SP STEPH's recipes are ALWAYS winners IMO.

    I did have a good amount of crumbs left over. Next time I might use the crumbs on both sides. - 1/6/13

     This is delicious! My entire family loved it. I used a couple of tortilla chips instead of breadcrumbs, since I am gluten-free. - 10/3/12

     This was delicious!!! My husband loved it. I followed the recipe exactly as shown. The fish was very light and the coating on it had a great tangy flavor. I will be making this again! - 2/2/12
  • SWEETNEEY
     this was off the chain. I did not have pistachios, so I chopped up some mixed nuts I had and it was fabulous. Had it with a baked potato and steamed broccoli & carrots. - 8/6/13
  • JESSIG5
     My favorite salmon recipe. I also make it with grated parmesan added to the crumbs. I have also used the crust on chicken. - 4/26/13
  • LINROSIE
     The crust is fantastic !! I've used it on other fish fillet's, chicken and pork. - 10/3/12
  • S3XYDIVASMOM
     I used pine nuts and onions, because that's what I had on hand. I added no salt. There is plenty of salt in the bread that goes into the crumbs. It was delicious. - 8/26/12
  • MSMEMUCH
     So incredibly delicious - 1/22/12
  • JOANOFSPARK
     just incredible....I love salmon almost any way but the pistachios put this one over the top for me. yeah, as with some of the other reviews, I feel no need for salt... - 6/27/13

     I tried this with tilapia. It was very good but I think it would be better with salmon so I will try it again soon using salmon. Also, I used Panko bread crumbs and I feel it would be better with traditional bread crumbs. Well worth trying and excellent with the shallots. - 10/5/12
