INGREDIENTS
4 oz Salmon Fillet
1/8 cup chopped Pistachios
1 cup Asparagus
1/2 cup cooked Quinoa
1 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 tbsp Lemon Juice and Zest
1 tbsp Mixed Fresh Herbs
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F.
Place the salmon fillet on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
Press the chopped pistachios onto the top of the salmon to create an even crust.
In a bowl, combine the asparagus with olive oil, lemon juice, mixed herbs, salt, and pepper.
Arrange the seasoned asparagus on another baking tray or around the salmon if space permits.
Place both the salmon and asparagus in the oven. Bake the salmon for about 12-15 minutes until the fish flakes easily, and roast the asparagus for 10-12 minutes until tender and slightly charred.
While the salmon and asparagus are cooking, prepare the quinoa according to package instructions to yield about 1/2 cup cooked.
Plate the crispy pistachio-crusted salmon alongside a serving of roasted asparagus and a scoop of fluffy quinoa. Garnish with additional lemon zest or herbs if desired.
