Crispy Pistachio-Crusted Salmon with Fresh Lemon Herb Quinoa
Enjoy a delightful twist on a classic salmon dinner with a crunchy pistachio crust paired with a refreshing lemon herb quinoa. The tender, flaky salmon is encrusted in roasted pistachios for an extra dose of texture and flavor, while the light, citrus-infused quinoa perfectly complements the dish. An elegant, balanced meal that’s as pleasing to the palate as it is in presentation.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz Salmon Fillet
1/4 cup crushed roasted Pistachios
1/2 cup cooked Quinoa
1 tbsp Fresh Lemon Juice
2 tbsp Fresh Parsley
2 tsp Fresh Dill
1 tsp Olive Oil
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Pat the salmon fillet dry and season lightly with salt and pepper.
Place the crushed pistachios in a shallow dish. Press the top side of the salmon fillet into the pistachios to form a crust.
Place the salmon, pistachio side up, on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes until the salmon is just cooked through and the crust is crisp.
While the salmon bakes, prepare the quinoa. In a small bowl, combine the cooked quinoa with lemon juice, olive oil, chopped parsley, dill, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix well.
Once the salmon is ready, plate it over or beside the lemon herb quinoa. Garnish with additional fresh herbs if desired and serve immediately.
