INGREDIENTS
5 ounces Salmon Fillet
0.5 ounce Pistachios, unsalted, shelled (crushed)
1 cup Asparagus
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
1 tablespoon Lemon Juice
2 tablespoons Fresh Herbs (Dill, Parsley)
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Place the asparagus on a baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Season with a little salt, pepper, and half of the lemon juice. Toss to coat evenly.
Roast the asparagus in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes until tender and lightly charred.
While the asparagus roasts, pat the salmon fillet dry with a paper towel. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
Place the crushed pistachios on a small plate and press the salmon fillet into them to form an even crust on the top side.
In a non-stick skillet over medium heat, sear the salmon (pistachio side down first) for about 3-4 minutes until the crust is crispy. Then flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes until the salmon is almost cooked through.
Drizzle the remaining lemon juice over the salmon and sprinkle with fresh herbs immediately after cooking.
Serve the crispy pistachio-crusted salmon alongside the roasted asparagus for a balanced, flavorful meal.
