Crispy Pistachio Crusted Salmon with Fresh Lemon Herb Quinoa
Enjoy a delightful twist on salmon dinner with a crunchy pistachio crust paired with light, zesty lemon herb quinoa. The tender, flaky salmon meets the nutty crunch of pistachios and the bright freshness of lemon and herbs in this balanced dish.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz Salmon Fillet
0.5 oz Shelled Pistachios
0.5 cup Cooked Quinoa
1 tbsp Fresh Lemon Juice
2 tbsp Fresh Herbs (Parsley & Dill)
1 tsp Olive Oil
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a food processor, pulse the pistachios with a pinch of salt and pepper until coarsely chopped.
Place the salmon fillet on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and lightly brush with olive oil.
Press the chopped pistachios onto the top of the salmon to form a crust.
Bake the salmon for about 12-15 minutes, until the fish is just cooked through and the crust is slightly crisp.
While the salmon bakes, prepare the quinoa by reheating or cooking 0.5 cup of cooked quinoa.
In a bowl, mix the quinoa with fresh lemon juice, chopped parsley and dill, and a little extra olive oil if desired. Season with salt and pepper.
Plate the quinoa and top with the crispy pistachio crusted salmon. Serve immediately.
