Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel and place skin-side down on the baking pan.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine chopped pistachios, brown sugar, lemon juice, dill weed, and pepper.
  4. Spoon the pistachio mixture evenly over each salmon fillet, pressing gently to adhere.
