Enjoy a vibrant plate of golden, pistachio-crusted salmon paired with tender roasted asparagus and a refreshing lemon-herb quinoa salad. This dish balances the rich umami of salmon with crunchy, nutty notes and zesty freshness in every bite.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz Salmon Fillet
0.5 oz Crushed Raw Pistachios
1 cup Asparagus
0.5 cup Cooked Quinoa
1 tsp Olive Oil
1/4 medium Lemon
2 tbsp Fresh Parsley
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
Using a mortar and pestle or food processor, pulse the pistachios until coarsely chopped. Set aside.
Season the salmon fillet with salt and pepper. Gently press the crushed pistachios onto the top side of the salmon to form a crust.
Place the pistachio-crusted salmon on the prepared baking tray. Arrange trimmed asparagus spears around the salmon, drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and the asparagus is tender.
While the salmon and asparagus are roasting, prepare the quinoa by combining the cooked quinoa in a bowl with lemon juice, a bit of lemon zest, and fresh chopped parsley. Season lightly with salt and pepper and toss to combine.
Plate the salmon with a side of roasted asparagus and a serving of lemon-herb quinoa. Enjoy the harmonious blend of flavors and textures in every bite.
