INGREDIENTS
5 oz Salmon Fillet
2 tbsp chopped Pistachios
1/2 cup Cooked Quinoa
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
2 tbsp Fresh Herbs (Parsley and Dill)
1 clove Minced Garlic
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F.
In a small bowl, combine the chopped pistachios with the minced garlic and a pinch of salt and pepper.
Pat the salmon fillet dry and press the pistachio mixture onto the top side of the salmon, ensuring a good, even crust.
Place the salmon on a parchment-lined baking sheet and drizzle with a little olive oil.
Bake the salmon for 12-15 minutes, or until it flakes easily with a fork.
Meanwhile, prepare the quinoa by warming it over low heat. Stir in the lemon juice, fresh herbs, and a drizzle of olive oil.
Season the quinoa with salt and pepper to taste.
Plate a serving of lemon-herb quinoa and place the pistachio-crusted salmon on top or alongside.
Garnish with additional herbs or a squeeze of fresh lemon if desired and serve warm.
