PISTACHIO-CRUSTED SALMON AND CHERRIES

Steps:

• Season salmon with salt & pepper; coat both sides with pistachios, pressing with fingers to evenly coat. Preheat large nonstick sauté pan on medium 2-3 minutes. Place oil in pan, add salmon; cook 1-2 minutes on each side or until lightly browned. Remove salmon from pan. Reduce heat to low. Combine balsamic vinegar, preserves, and cherries; add to pan. Simmer and stir 5-6 minutes or until mixture has reduced by half. Return salmon to pan & cook 2-3 minutes or until salmon is 145 degrees and flakes easily. Sprinkle with mint.
