Enjoy a delightful dinner featuring tender salmon encrusted with crushed pistachios, perfectly roasted asparagus, and a refreshing lemon-herb quinoa. This dish balances nutty crunch with bright citrus notes, delivering a satisfying meal that's both flavorful and aligned with your nutritional goals.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz Salmon Fillet
0.5 oz Unsalted Shelled Pistachios
1 cup Asparagus
1 cup Cooked Quinoa
0.5 tsp Olive Oil
1 Lemon
2 tbsp Fresh Herbs (Parsley & Dill)
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F.
Roughly crush the pistachios on a cutting board until you have coarse crumbs. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Pat the salmon fillet dry. Brush lightly with olive oil and press the crushed pistachios onto the top side of the salmon to form a crust.
Place the crusted salmon on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Arrange trimmed asparagus spears around the salmon. Drizzle a tiny bit of olive oil over the asparagus and season with salt and pepper.
Roast in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is just cooked through and the asparagus is tender.
While the salmon and asparagus roast, prepare the lemon-herb quinoa. In a small saucepan, warm the cooked quinoa over low heat. Stir in the zest and juice of the lemon along with the chopped fresh herbs. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
Plate the salmon alongside a serving of roasted asparagus and a generous scoop of lemon-herb quinoa. Serve warm and enjoy!
