Pistachio crusted salmon

If you love salmon you have to try this recipe.  The spicy sweet mixture of the glaze mixed with the crunchy pistachio crust is out of this world!   The amounts below will be enough for 4 salmon fillets.

4, 5 oz salmon fillets
2 tbsp Dijon mustard
2 tbsp butter, melted
4 tsp honey
1/4 cup breadcrumbs
1/4 cup pistachios
2 teaspoons fresh cilantro, chopped

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Season the salmon with salt and pepper and place on a greased, foil-lined pan, skin-side down.  Mix the mustard, butter and honey together and brush on top of the salmon.  Combine the bread crumbs, pistachios and cilantro in a small food processor until thoroughly blended.  Sprinke the mixture on top of the fillets.  Bake for 12-15 minutes or until salmon is opaque in the center and begins to flake; be careful not to overbake.  Serve immediately.
