This is one of my favourite recipes – so I adapted it for Passover. Click here for the original.

Honey and nuts compliment the mild flavour and flaky, buttery texture of the salmon perfectly.  This version used matzo meal instead of panko. Add a side of roasted tomatoes and asparagus and this satisfies the nutritional requirements for a complete and healthy quick meal.

1  lb (375ml) salmon fillets
1 tsp (5ml) olive oil
2 tsp (10ml) light mayonnaise
1 tsp (5ml) honey
1/4 cup (50ml) chopped pistachios
1/4 cup (50 ml) matzo meal
1 tbsp (15 ml)chopped parsley
2 tbsp (25ml) olive oil
1/8 tsp salt (0.5 ml)
1/8 tsp pepper (0.5 ml)
1 1/2 lb (675 g) asparagus trimmed
1 cup(250 ml) cherry tomatoes
1/8 tsp (0.5ml) salt
1/8 tsp (0.5 ml)pepper
