INGREDIENTS
4 oz Salmon Fillet
1 oz Unsalted Pistachios, chopped
1 cup Asparagus
1 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1/2 Lemon
Salt & Pepper (to taste)
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F.
Place the asparagus on a baking sheet, drizzle with half the olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and toss to coat evenly. Roast in the oven for about 12-15 minutes until tender.
Meanwhile, pat dry the salmon fillet with paper towels. Season lightly with salt and pepper on both sides.
Place the chopped pistachios on a small plate. Brush the top of the salmon lightly with the remaining olive oil, then press the pistachios onto the flesh to create an even crust.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the salmon, pistachio side down, for 2 minutes to lightly toast the nuts.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven (or move the salmon to a baking dish) and bake for an additional 8-10 minutes until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
Remove from the oven and squeeze fresh lemon juice over the salmon before serving with the roasted asparagus.
