INGREDIENTS
5 oz Salmon Fillet
10 g Crushed Pistachios
1/2 cup Cooked Quinoa
6 Asparagus Spears
1 Tbsp Lemon Juice
2 Tbsp Fresh Parsley
1 Tbsp Fresh Dill
1 tsp Olive Oil
Salt and Black Pepper (to taste)
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Place the salmon fillet on a clean plate. Brush lightly with olive oil and season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Coat the top of the salmon with the crushed pistachios, pressing gently to adhere.
Arrange the salmon on the prepared baking sheet. In the same pan, add the asparagus spears tossed with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper.
Bake the salmon and asparagus in the oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is just cooked through and the asparagus is tender yet crisp.
Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, warm the cooked quinoa over low heat. Stir in lemon juice, chopped fresh parsley, and dill. Season with salt and pepper as desired.
To serve, plate the lemon herb quinoa as a base, top with the crispy pistachio crusted salmon, and arrange the roasted asparagus alongside.
Garnish with additional fresh herbs if desired and enjoy your nutrient-packed meal.
