From the Test Kitchen

To complement our rich salmon fillets, we’re coating them in creamy mustard sauce and savory pistachio breadcrumbs before baking in the oven until deliciously golden brown. For a twist on a simple side of white rice, we’re calling on the traditional flavors of piccata—an Italian preparation that highlights briny capers and fresh lemon.

Arrange two oven racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven, then preheat to 450°F. Wash and dry the fresh produce. Line two sheet pans with foil. Cut the mushrooms into bite-sized pieces. Halve, peel, and thinly slice the onion. Transfer the tomatoes, mushroom pieces, and sliced onion to one sheet pan. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt, pepper, and the Italian seasoning. Toss to coat. Arrange in an even layer. Place on the upper oven rack and roast 19 to 21 minutes, or until the vegetables are lightly browned and tender when pierced with a fork. Remove from the oven.

Meanwhile, finely chop the pistachios. In a bowl, combine the chopped pistachios, breadcrumbs, and 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Evenly coat the remaining sheet pan with a drizzle of olive oil. Pat the fish dry with paper towels. Season with salt and pepper on both sides. Place the seasoned fish on the oiled sheet pan, skin side down. Evenly top the fish with the dijonnaise and pistachio-breadcrumb mixture (pressing to adhere). Place on the lower oven rack and roast 12 to 15 minutes, or until lightly browned and the fish is cooked through.* Remove from the oven. 

*The USDA recommends a minimum safe cooking temperature of 145°F for fish.
