Crispy Pistachio-Crusted Salmon with Roasted Asparagus and Lemon Quinoa
Savor the delightful crunch of pistachio-crusted salmon paired with tender roasted asparagus and a zesty lemon quinoa. This meal brings together a tasteful balance of textures and flavors that elevate a simple dinner into a gourmet experience.
INGREDIENTS
5 ounces Salmon Fillet
10 grams Shelled Pistachios
5 Asparagus Spears
1/2 cup Cooked Quinoa
1/4 Lemon
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 400°F.
Place the asparagus spears on a baking tray, drizzle lightly with olive oil, sprinkle with a pinch of salt and pepper, and roast for 12-15 minutes until tender.
Meanwhile, finely chop the pistachios and place in a shallow dish.
Pat the salmon dry with a paper towel, then lightly press the salmon on one side into the chopped pistachios to create an even crust.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and sear the salmon, crust-side down, for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and crispy.
Flip the salmon and cook the other side for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until desired doneness is reached.
Prepare the quinoa by fluffing it in a bowl and mixing in the juice of 1/4 lemon. Season with a pinch of salt.
Plate the seared salmon alongside the roasted asparagus and a serving of lemon quinoa, and serve warm.
