Herb-Crusted New Zealand King Salmon Recipe

PREPARATION

1. Preheat the oven to 150°C (130°C fan-forced). Line a large baking tray with non-stick paper.
2. Place the salmon on the tray, skin side down. Drizzle with olive oil and spread it evenly over the surface. Season with salt and pepper.
3. For the Pistachio Herb Crust, mix all ingredients in a medium bowl. Spread the mixture evenly over the salmon. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until cooked to your preference.
4. While the salmon is baking, prepare the Lemon Mayonnaise. Combine egg yolks, lemon juice, and mustard in a small food processor or use a stick blender. With the motor running, slowly add the olive oil in a thin stream until the mixture is thick and all the oil is incorporated.
5. Season the mayonnaise with salt, pepper, and additional lemon juice to taste, if desired. Add warm water to adjust the consistency if needed.
6. Transfer the salmon to a serving platter. Serve warm or at room temperature with the Lemon Mayonnaise and lemon wedges.
