I don't remember where I got this recipe but it is totally sinful! We eat ALOT of salmon and I am always looking for new ways to prepare it. This is really different and has a very rich taste. It would be an appropriate dish for a special night or dinner party but is easy enough for a work night.

¼ cup crushed pistachios
2 tablespoons panko bread crumbs
1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon butter, melted
4 (6 ounce) fillets salmon with skin, center cut
salt and ground black pepper to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil
