Salmon with Pistachio Basil Butter

Made with chicken and put the extra over cauliflower "rice" and it was delicious. Even forgot the lime juice, oops.

One word: AMAZING! I had a few salmon-loving guests over for dinner and "experimented" on them with this recipe. We were all stunned by the awesome flavors! Except for the occasional "mmmm's" we were speechless during dinner ... a sure sign of a great meal. The only change I made was to not cook the salmon in the wine as recommended since I did not want to boil out the Omega-3s from the Alaskan King salmon I used. Thank you Kimke for posting!

This was wonderful. The whole family loved it. I ended up using a very sweet, fruity wine because it was all I had but it worked well. I also didn't have any basil so used dried parsley. This would go well with any number of sides. I served with a sweet pasta dish but think a yummy mash or even pasta alfredo would be great matches...any simple steamed or roasted green veg would work great too. It really wasn't at all what I expected but so much better. I have some of the butter left over (I made extra because I never trust recipes, but should have) and may save it to make this again over the weekend. Thanks for posting. Delicious and easy, what more could you want?

This was so simple to make and so delicious! The fish came out perfectly. I followed other reviewers' advice and marinated the fish for half an hour in wine, garlic, and basil. Also, since I was only cooking for two, I halved the amount of butter but kept the other ingredient amounts as written. It was plenty of butter and very flavorful. I served the entire thing over rice pilaf for a delicious, company-quality meal.

We were looking forward to making this with salmon, but the store was out, so we made it with two whole chicken breasts pounded flat. Preheated the oven to 400°, browned the chicken in an oven-proof skillet, deglazed it with white wine, smeared it with the butter and put it in the oven for ten minutes. Divine! The leftover butter is going on a turkey sandwich for lunch!

Our family has made this salmon twice and loved it both times. It's so elegant and different, plus super yummy! Thanks so much.

I doubled the pistachios, lime juice and garlic, used 15 basil leaves and it was great. I marinated the salmon with a little white wine, 3 cloves of garlic, garlic powder, salt and pepper to add some flavor. Used this sauce to serve over Angel Hair but I would definitely try rice instead next time.

This was a really good variation on fish with pesto sauce - I especially enjoyed the pistachios. I wouldn't change a thing about this recipe! Thanks for sharing.

This was a great meal. Made as directed. Next time will take previous reviewer's suggestion & marinate salmon in wine, basil & garlic before cooking. Served with barbequed vegies. Thanks Kimke for sharing this keeper.

this was great. I marinated the fish beforehand in white wine, fresh basil and garlic so it would be extra flavorful. thanks for the recipe!

Ok this is my second time reviewing this, but I just had to say that I made it with chicken this time and it was worth more than 5 stars. I just cooked chicken breasts in a little olive oil on the stove, then put them in the baking dish and covered them with pistachio basil butter and baked them in the oven for 5 min. Delicious!

I didn't have pistachios, but I had some garlic, basil butter in the fridge. I added garlic to / squeezed the lime into the wine. Really good. Went well with some brown rice (to soak up the extra wine) and Hey Jude's Swiss Chard with Tomatoes #94436. Will make again for sure and will try the pistachios next time. Thanks, Kimke.

A unique and absolutely delicious recipe for salmon! So different than most "typical" salmon recipes, and not at all difficult to make (even without a food processor, everything can be diced pretty easily and satisfactorily). I love the crunchy texture of the pistachio butter, which contrasts nicely with the soft, smooth texture of salmon. Thanks for a winner!!

Like Michelle, I served this yesterday with Mallina Cashew's # 32295 "Magnificent 1st Prize Risotto", and my four guests all mmhed and aahed all evening! One of my guests had eaten four evenings in a row in various restaurants before coming to my place and she said that this meal was the best of her week by far! I was pretty faithful to recipe, using five large salmon fillets that fully covered the voluminous risotto bed underneath. I followed other people's advice and doubled the pistachios and presoftened the butter before using the food processor. The pistachio butter was delicious, but maybe I'll change the proprtions next time to increase the lime or garlic flavor. Great recipe!
