INGREDIENTS
4 oz Salmon Fillet
0.5 oz Pistachios, shelled (chopped)
1/2 cup Cooked Quinoa
5 spears Asparagus
1/8 Fresh Lemon (zested and juiced)
1 tbsp Fresh Parsley
1 tsp Fresh Dill
0.5 tsp Olive Oil
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Toss the asparagus lightly with olive oil, salt, and pepper, then arrange them on the baking sheet.
Place the salmon fillet on a separate small baking tray. Season with salt and pepper.
Coat the top of the salmon with a thin layer of chopped pistachios, pressing lightly to adhere.
Roast the asparagus in the oven for about 10-12 minutes until tender. Simultaneously, bake the salmon for 12-15 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily and the crust is crisp.
While the salmon and asparagus are roasting, prepare the lemon herb quinoa. In a small bowl, combine the cooked quinoa with lemon zest, a squeeze of fresh lemon juice, chopped parsley, and dill. Mix gently. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
Once cooked, plate the salmon atop a serving of lemon herb quinoa, and arrange the roasted asparagus on the side.
Serve immediately and enjoy the delightful blend of flavors and textures.
