Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Bring a medium pot of heavily salted water to a boil. Fill a medium bowl with ice water and set aside.
- Add the basil leaves, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 teaspoon shichimi togarashi, lemon zest, garlic, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper to a food processor and process until finely chopped, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. Transfer to a small bowl and fold in the panko.
- Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet and brush the tops with 2 tablespoons honey. Press the breadcrumb mixture all over the tops of each fillet (about 1 tablespoon per fillet). Bake until the breadcrumbs are golden brown and the salmon is firm and flakes easily when pressed, 12 to 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, place the pine nuts in a single layer in a small nonstick skillet and cook, shaking frequently, until they're golden brown and smell nutty, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate to cool.
- Add the sugar snap peas to the boiling water and cook until very bright green and crisp tender, 1 to 2 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to immediately transfer the peas to the ice water to stop the cooking. Drain the snap peas, then cut them into thirds on a deep bias.
- Put the lemon juice, mustard, vinegar, fish sauce, shallots, 1/4 teaspoon salt, a few grinds of pepper, the remaining 1 tablespoon of honey and the remaining pinch of shichimi togarashi in a large bowl. Use an immersion blender to mix and drizzle in the vegetable oil and the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil until all the ingredients are emulsified.
- Fold in the snap peas until coated. Fold in the parsley leaves, toasted pine nuts and basil stems and serve alongside the salmon.
