INGREDIENTS
4 oz Salmon Fillet
100 g Carrot
100 g Parsnip
20 g Pistachios (unsalted)
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
1 tsp Olive Oil
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
On a baking sheet, arrange peeled and cut carrots and parsnips into uniform pieces. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and toss to coat evenly.
Roast the vegetables in the oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until tender and slightly caramelized, stirring halfway through.
While the vegetables roast, prepare the salmon fillet by patting it dry with paper towel. Season lightly with salt, pepper, and a drizzle of lemon juice.
Place the pistachios in a small food processor or seal them in a plastic bag and crush with a rolling pin until you have a coarse meal. Press the crushed pistachios onto the top of the salmon fillet to form a crust.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and lightly sear the salmon, pistachio side down, for 2 minutes to set the crust. Then flip and cook the other side for about 3-4 minutes, depending on thickness, until the salmon is just cooked through.
Plate the salmon alongside the roasted root vegetables and drizzle any remaining lemon juice over the top before serving.
