INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Salmon Fillet
0.5 ounce Unsalted Pistachios
1/2 cup Cooked Quinoa
6 Spears Asparagus
1 tablespoon Lemon Juice
1 tablespoon Fresh Herbs (Dill & Parsley)
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 425°F.
Pat the salmon fillet dry and season lightly with salt and pepper. Finely chop the pistachios and gently press them onto the top of the salmon fillet to create an even crust.
Place the pistachio-crusted salmon on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Roast in the oven for 10-12 minutes, until the salmon is just cooked through and the crust is crisp.
While the salmon roasts, prepare the asparagus by trimming the woody ends. Toss the asparagus with a small drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper, and spread them on another baking sheet. Roast in the oven for about 8-10 minutes until tender and lightly charred.
In a small bowl, combine the cooked quinoa with lemon juice and finely chopped fresh herbs. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
Plate the dish by placing a serving of lemon-herb quinoa alongside the roasted asparagus, and top with the crispy pistachio-crusted salmon. Serve immediately and enjoy the harmonious blend of flavors and textures.
