Crispy Pistachio-Crusted Salmon with Roasted Asparagus and Lemon
Enjoy a delightful twist on salmon with a crunchy pistachio crust paired with tender roasted asparagus and a bright squeeze of lemon. This dish boasts a wonderful balance of textures and flavors, combining the rich, buttery salmon with the nutty crunch of lightly toasted pistachios, all accented by the aromatic freshness of roasted lemon and asparagus.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz Salmon Fillet
15 g unsalted Pistachios, crushed
8 Spears Asparagus
1/2 medium Lemon
1 tsp Olive Oil
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and arrange the asparagus spears. Drizzle with olive oil, season lightly with salt and pepper, and toss to coat evenly.
Roast the asparagus in the oven for approximately 10-12 minutes until tender and slightly charred.
While the asparagus roasts, prepare the salmon. Pat the salmon fillet dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and pepper.
Place the crushed pistachios in a shallow dish. Press the top of the salmon fillet into the pistachios to form a crust.
Heat an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add the salmon, pistachio side down, and sear for 2-3 minutes until the crust becomes crispy.
Flip the salmon carefully and transfer the skillet to the oven. Bake for another 6-8 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
Remove both the salmon and asparagus from the oven. Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the salmon for a bright finish.
Plate the salmon alongside the roasted asparagus and enjoy your flavorful, protein-packed meal.
