INGREDIENTS
4 oz Salmon Fillet
0.25 oz Shelled Pistachios
0.5 cup cooked Quinoa
5 spears Asparagus
1 tbsp Fresh Lemon Juice
1 tbsp Fresh Dill
1 tsp Olive Oil
Salt and Pepper
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F.
Place the asparagus spears on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Roast in the oven for 10-12 minutes until tender and slightly charred.
Meanwhile, finely chop the pistachios and mix them with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Brush the salmon fillet lightly with olive oil, then press the chopped pistachios onto the top to form a crunchy crust.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the salmon, crust side down, for 2-3 minutes until golden, then flip and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the salmon is just cooked through.
For the quinoa, if not pre-cooked, prepare according to package instructions. Once ready, stir in fresh lemon juice and chopped dill for a bright flavor.
Plate the salmon on a bed of lemon-dill quinoa and arrange the roasted asparagus on the side. Garnish with an extra drizzle of lemon juice if desired.
