INGREDIENTS
5 ounces Salmon Fillet
1/2 cup Wild Rice (cooked)
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
2 tablespoons Fresh Parsley, chopped
1 teaspoon Lemon Zest
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a small bowl, combine the chopped fresh parsley, lemon zest, a pinch of salt, and pepper.
Pat the salmon fillet dry, then brush it lightly with olive oil. Press the herb mixture onto the top of the salmon to create a crust.
Place the herb-crusted salmon on a lightly greased baking sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes until the salmon is just cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
While the salmon bakes, prepare the wild rice pilaf by warming the cooked wild rice in a small saucepan. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
To serve, lay a bed of wild rice on the plate, top with the baked salmon, and garnish with a sprinkle of extra fresh parsley if desired. Serve with lemon wedges on the side.
