Salmon with Pistachio Basil Butter





6 servings





Ingredients:





1/4 cup Pistachios (about 1 ounce)


10 lg. Fresh basil leaves or 1/4 cup parsley and 2 tsp. dried basil, crumbled


1 Garlic clove


1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, room temperature


1 tsp. Lime juice


6 oz. 1-1/2-inch-thick salmon fillets


1/2 cup Dry white wine


Additional fresh basil - leaves (optional)





Instructions:





Process pistachios, 10 basil leaves and garlic clove in processor until finely chopped.





Add 1/2 cup butter and 1 teaspoon lime juice and process until incorporated into mixture. Season to taste with salt and pepper.





Transfer butter mixture to small bowl. Refrigerated until well chilled (Pistachio butter can be prepared up to 4 days ahead.)





Preheat oven to 400-degrees F. Butter 9x13-inch baking dish. Place salmon fillets in dish in single layer. Pour white wine over.





Season salmon with salt and pepper. Bake salmon until almost opaque on top, about 10 minutes.





Place 2 tablespoons pistachio butter atop each salmon piece. Continue baking until salmon fillets are just opaque in center, about 5 minutes.





Garnish with basil if desired and serve immediately.
I used to live in the Northwest (Oregon). One of the simplest recipes (not a basil one) is to baste the Salmon in Italian salad dressing and bake it. A little red pepper seasoning can warm it up a little also.
