Make a few cuts through the salmon fillet.
Pour olive oil on top, sprinkle with crushed red pepper and salt, and massage very well.
Bake at 400°F for 15 minutes until the salmon is cooked through and slightly golden.
Add avocado, lemon juice, honey, heavy cream, garlic cloves, sun-dried tomatoes, salt, and pepper to a food processor.
Blend until smooth and creamy.
Top the baked salmon with the avocado mixture and spread evenly to cover.
Top with crushed pistachio as the next layer.
Return to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes until the pistachio layer is lightly toasted.
For a smoother avocado sauce, ensure the avocados are ripe and soft.

If you prefer a spicier kick, increase the amount of crushed red pepper in the seasoning.
