How to Make Baklava Salmon With Asparagus

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a 9x13 inch baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons melted butter, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, and 1 tablespoon honey.
  3. In a shallow dish, combine 1/2 cup shelled pistachios, 1 cup panko breadcrumbs, 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 2 tablespoons olive oil. Toss to coat.
  4. Place two 6-ounce salmon fillets on one side of the prepared baking sheet. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Brush the tops of the salmon fillets generously with the honey-mustard mixture. Press the pistachio-panko mixture firmly onto the honey mustard to coat.
  6. On the other side of the baking sheet, arrange 1 pound asparagus spears and 1 cup halved cherry tomatoes. Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves, salt, and pepper. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons olive oil.

  8. Serve immediately with lemon wedges and garnish with fresh parsley sprigs.
