Pistachio-Crusted Salmon with Lemon-Herb Roasted Asparagus
Savor the delightful combination of tender salmon encrusted with crunchy pistachios, accompanied by zesty lemon-herb roasted asparagus. This dish offers a harmonious balance of textures and flavors, with the nutty crust complementing the rich, flaky salmon and the bright, aromatic asparagus providing a refreshing contrast.
INGREDIENTS
4.5 oz Salmon Fillet
1 oz Shelled Pistachios (crushed)
1 cup Asparagus
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
1 tbsp Fresh Parsley, chopped
1/4 tsp Garlic Powder
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Place the asparagus on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil and lemon juice, then season lightly with garlic powder. Toss to coat evenly.
Roast the asparagus in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes until tender and slightly crispy.
While the asparagus roasts, finely chop or pulse the pistachios in a food processor until they form a coarse meal.
Pat the salmon fillet dry with paper towels. Season lightly with salt and pepper if desired.
Press the crushed pistachios onto the top of the salmon fillet to form an even crust.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the salmon, pistachio side down, for 2-3 minutes until the crust is golden.
Carefully flip the salmon and continue to cook for another 3-4 minutes, or until the salmon reaches your preferred level of doneness.
Plate the salmon and arrange the roasted asparagus alongside. Garnish with fresh parsley and an extra drizzle of lemon juice if desired.
