INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Salmon Fillet (113g)
5 spears Asparagus (85g)
1/2 cup cooked Quinoa (92g)
1 tbsp crushed Pistachios (10g)
1 tbsp Lemon Juice (15g)
1 tbsp Fresh Parsley (3g)
1 tsp Olive Oil (5g)
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 400°F.
Place the salmon fillet on a piece of parchment-lined baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and season lightly with salt and pepper.
In a small bowl, combine crushed pistachios with a pinch of salt, pepper, and a bit of chopped parsley. Press this mixture gently onto the top of the salmon to form a crust.
Trim the tough ends off the asparagus. Toss asparagus with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper on a separate baking sheet.
Place both the salmon and asparagus in the oven. Roast the asparagus for about 10-12 minutes and bake the salmon for 12-15 minutes or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
While the proteins roast, prepare the lemon-herb quinoa. In a small bowl, mix cooked quinoa with lemon juice and the remaining fresh parsley. Adjust salt and pepper to taste.
Plate the salmon, spoon the lemon-herb quinoa alongside, and arrange the roasted asparagus on the side. Serve immediately.
