serves 3
Ingredients:
- 1 (1-pound) wild king salmon fillet, skin on, bones removed
- Kosher salt
- Freshly-ground black pepper
- 3 tablespoons Dijon-style mustard (you can use the whole grain variety)
- 1 tablespoon chopped chives or scallions
- ½ cup shelled salted and dry roasted pistachios, crushed
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
Pat the fish dry with a paper towel and divide the fillet into three uniform portions. Sprinkle salt and pepper on the skin, and lay it skin-side down on the parchment-lined baking tray.
Combine the mustard and chives in a small bowl. Spread one-third of the mixture evenly on each piece of fish.
Next, sprinkle the crushed nuts on top of the salmon and pat the mixture down gently to make sure it sticks.
Place the tray in the oven for about 10 minutes or until the salmon is cooked through to your desired doneness. If you’re cooking a whole 1-pound filet, you may need to increase the baking time to 15 minutes.
Take the salmon out of the oven and let the fillets rest for a few minutes. In the meantime, reheat some leftover roasted vegetables or dice up a basket of cherry tomatoes.

Coconut Cookie Dough Balls
Ingredients:
Scant 2/3 cup pitted dates (80 g)
1 and 1/2 tbsp coconut butter or Homemade Coconut Butter
Tiny pinch salt (can be omitted if desired)
Optional: shredded coconut
Blend everything together in a food processor. This makes a small batch, so I used my Magic Bullet. If you have a bigger processor, it might be best to double or triple the recipe so everything blends more smoothly. (The recipe can be done in a blender, but the results are stickier.) Smush into one big ball, then roll into little balls or bars or cookie-cuttered shapes.
