Pistachio Crusted Salmon with Fresh Lemon Herb Quinoa
Enjoy a vibrant and satisfying dish featuring a beautifully pistachio-crusted salmon paired with zesty lemon herb quinoa. The crunchy, nutty crust complements the tender, flaky salmon while the bright, fresh herbs and lemon elevate the flavors, making this meal both nutrient-packed and enticing.
INGREDIENTS
5 ounces Salmon Fillet
1/2 cup cooked Quinoa
0.5 ounce chopped Pistachios
1 Fresh Lemon
1 teaspoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 tablespoon Fresh Parsley
1 tablespoon Fresh Dill
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 400°F.
Place the salmon fillet on a lined baking sheet. Season with salt and pepper.
In a small bowl, gently combine the chopped pistachios with a pinch of salt and pepper. Press this mixture evenly over the top of the salmon fillet to form a crust.
Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, or until cooked through and the crust is lightly toasted.
While the salmon bakes, prepare the quinoa. If not already cooked, rinse 1/3 cup dry quinoa and cook according to package instructions. Once cooked, fluff with a fork.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked quinoa with the zest and juice of the fresh lemon, chopped fresh parsley, fresh dill, and drizzle with the extra virgin olive oil. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
Plate the quinoa and top with the pistachio crusted salmon. Serve immediately, enjoying the bright, herbal flavors alongside the rich salmon.
