Crispy Pan-Seared Salmon with Bright Pistachio-Herb Crust and Roasted Asparagus
Enjoy a sophisticated twist on a classic salmon dish. This recipe features a crisp, flavorful pistachio-herb crust that perfectly complements a tender, pan-seared salmon fillet. Paired with lightly roasted asparagus, this dish is a celebration of fresh, vibrant ingredients and balanced nutrition.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz Salmon Fillet
0.5 oz Raw Pistachios
0.25 cup Fresh Parsley
0.25 cup Fresh Dill
1 tsp Olive Oil
6 Asparagus Spears
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 425°F for roasting the asparagus.
In a small food processor or using a mortar and pestle, combine the raw pistachios, fresh parsley, fresh dill, and olive oil. Pulse until you form a coarse, herbaceous paste.
Season the salmon fillet lightly with salt and pepper. Pat dry for a crisp finish.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and sear the salmon, skin side down if applicable, for about 2-3 minutes until a crisp crust forms.
Gently press the pistachio-herb paste onto the top of the salmon fillet and continue to cook for another 3-4 minutes, or until the salmon reaches your desired level of doneness.
Meanwhile, place the asparagus spears on a baking tray, drizzle with a tiny bit of olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Roast in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, until tender yet still crisp.
Plate the salmon alongside the roasted asparagus. Optionally, squeeze a fresh lemon wedge over the top for added brightness before serving.
