    Pistachio Crusted Salmon With Spinach Raisin Salad

    And we're back to healthy meals. Admit it, you promised yourself to eat healthy but every time something holds you back from sticking to your promises.

    We've all been there. I face this challenge all the time.

    But here's the good news. With my today's recipe you don't have to compromise health to make this utterly delicious Pistachio Crusted Salmon.

    You know what the best part is? The whole meal can be pulled together in under 30 minutes.

    Sounds like a plan?

    Then, head over to a grocery store to stock up on salmon. For this recipe, I've used Sockeye salmon, but any type will do.

    You will also need a small zip-lock bag and raw unsalted pistachios.

    Put them in a bag and pound with a rolling pin or anything heavy. This will be your crust, so make sure to pound really well until your pistachios are nicely crushed.

    Or, if you want, you can use a coffee grinder, just make sure not to overgrind the nuts. You don't need a pistachio flour:)

    Then, mix your pistachios with garlic powder and dredge your salmon in it.

    Thirteen minutes in the oven and your nut crusted salmon is ready.

    For a side dish, I made an incredibly delicious Spinach And Raisin salad with maple-orange vinaigrette. This vinaigrette is fruity, with a hint of sweetness to it and adds a nice flavor to a simple salad.

    In my recipe I used spinach, but any leafy greens will work.
