INGREDIENTS
5 oz Salmon Fillet
1/8 cup Shelled Pistachios
8 Asparagus Spears
1/2 cup Cooked Quinoa
1/4 medium Lemon (juiced and zested)
1 Garlic Clove
1 tsp Olive Oil
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F.
Finely chop the pistachios and place them on a small plate. Lightly season the salmon fillet with salt and pepper, then press the chopped pistachios onto the top to form a crust.
Place the salmon on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Drizzle a small amount of olive oil over the salmon.
Arrange the asparagus spears around the salmon, and lightly toss them with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and the asparagus is tender.
While baking, prepare the lemon-herb quinoa by combining the cooked quinoa in a small saucepan with lemon juice, lemon zest, a minced garlic clove, and any preferred fresh herbs (such as parsley or dill). Warm it gently over low heat and stir to combine.
Plate the quinoa as the base, top with the crispy pistachio-crusted salmon, and arrange the roasted asparagus on the side. Serve immediately.
