INGREDIENTS
4 oz Salmon Fillet
0.5 oz raw unsalted Pistachios
0.5 cup cooked Quinoa
1 tsp Olive Oil
1/2 Lemon
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Lightly brush the salmon fillet with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
Place raw pistachios in a small food processor and pulse until they form a coarse crumb. Alternatively, chop finely by hand.
Press the pistachio crumbs onto the top of the salmon fillet to create an even crust.
Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for approximately 10-12 minutes, or until just cooked through.
While the salmon bakes, prepare the quinoa by mixing the cooked quinoa with freshly squeezed juice and zest from the half lemon, adding a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.
Plate a serving of zesty lemon quinoa and top it with the crispy pistachio-crusted salmon. Serve immediately.
