Preheat the oven to 400°F. 

Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the salmon filet on the prepared baking sheet and pat dry with paper towels. 

Season with salt and pepper. Set aside. 

In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, honey, Dijon mustard, and garlic. 

In a small bowl, combine the panko, crushed pistachios, Parmesan cheese, and lemon zest. Set aside. 

Drizzle the lemon honey mixture evenly over the salmon. 

Sprinkle the pistachio mixture evenly on top of the salmon. Gently press down so it sticks.
