INGREDIENTS
5 oz Salmon Fillet
15 grams Raw Pistachios (crushed)
1/2 cup Cooked Quinoa
5 spears Asparagus
1/2 Lemon
2 tbsp Fresh Herbs (parsley, dill)
1 tsp Olive Oil
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Place the salmon fillet on a cutting board. Using a rolling pin or food processor, crush the raw pistachios until finely chopped. Sprinkle half of the chopped pistachios onto the salmon and press gently to adhere.
Drizzle a bit of olive oil over the salmon and season lightly with salt and pepper if desired.
Arrange the salmon on the baking sheet. Toss the asparagus spears with a small drizzle of olive oil and a squeeze of lemon juice, and spread them out on another part of the baking sheet.
Place both the salmon and asparagus in the oven. Roast the asparagus for 10-12 minutes until tender and slightly crispy. Bake the salmon for about 12-15 minutes, or until it flakes easily with a fork.
While the salmon and asparagus are cooking, prepare the lemon-herb quinoa. In a bowl, combine the cooked quinoa with the fresh herbs, remaining lemon zest and juice, and a tiny drizzle of olive oil. Stir until well mixed.
Plate the salmon alongside a serving of lemon-herb quinoa and roasted asparagus. Garnish with any remaining crushed pistachios and fresh herbs for an extra burst of flavor.
