Crispy Pistachio-Crusted Salmon with Roasted Asparagus
Enjoy a delightful dinner featuring tender, flaky salmon enveloped in a crunchy pistachio crust, perfectly paired with lightly roasted asparagus. The balance of rich, nutty flavors and the freshness of lemon creates a satisfying, nutritious meal that is both elegant and easy to prepare.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz Salmon Fillet
15 g Unsalted Shelled Pistachios
90 g Asparagus
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
1 tsp Garlic Powder
Salt and Black Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 425°F.
Place the asparagus on a baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat evenly and roast in the oven for 10-12 minutes until tender.
Meanwhile, finely chop the pistachios in a food processor until they form a coarse meal. Mix in garlic powder, a pinch of salt, and freshly ground black pepper.
Pat the salmon fillet dry with paper towels. Drizzle a small amount of lemon juice over the fillet.
Press the chopped pistachio mixture onto the top of the salmon to form an even crust.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the salmon, crust side down, for about 2-3 minutes to set the crust.
Transfer the skillet to the oven (or place the salmon on a baking sheet) and bake for 6-8 minutes, or until the salmon reaches your desired doneness.
Remove the salmon and asparagus from the oven, drizzle with additional lemon juice if desired, and serve immediately.
