Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel.

Season the salmon fillets with kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper, pressing it into the surface.

In a small mixing bowl, combine 1/2 cup of chopped pistachios, minced garlic from 2-3 cloves, the juice of 1/2 lemon, 1 tbsp of Dijon mustard, and 1 tbsp of honey.

Mix the ingredients together until you achieve a smooth yet sticky consistency.

Generously spoon the pistachio mixture onto each salmon fillet, using fingers or the back of a spoon to spread it evenly.

Prepare the Weber Q grill for indirect grilling, using a roasting rack and roasting shield.

Set the grill temperature between 350 to 400°F (175 to 200°C).

Place the salmon on the grill and close the lid, cooking for about 12 to 15 minutes.

Check the internal temperature of the salmon; it should reach 145°F (62°C) to be considered done.

If the salmon is not at the desired doneness, cook for an additional minute.

Remove the salmon from the grill and serve.
