Pistachio-Crusted Salmon with Roasted Asparagus and Lemon-Herb Quinoa
Savor a delightful twist on your dinner plate with a seared salmon fillet encrusted in finely chopped pistachios, paired perfectly with tender roasted asparagus and a zesty lemon-herb quinoa. A harmonious blend of textures and flavors that brings a burst of freshness to every bite.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz Salmon Fillet
0.5 oz Pistachios, shelled
0.5 cup Cooked Quinoa
0.5 cup Asparagus
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
1 tbsp Mixed Fresh Herbs
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and toss the asparagus with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast for about 10-12 minutes until tender.
Finely chop the pistachios and mix with a pinch of salt and freshly ground pepper.
Pat dry the salmon fillet. Brush the top with lemon juice and press the chopped pistachios onto the surface to form a crust.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the salmon, pistachio-side down first, for 2-3 minutes to crisp the crust, then flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes until the salmon is just cooked through.
In a small bowl, combine the cooked quinoa with the remaining lemon juice and fresh herbs, mixing well.
Plate the salmon alongside the roasted asparagus and a serving of lemon-herb quinoa, and enjoy.
