Crispy Pistachio Crusted Salmon with Fresh Lemon Herb Quinoa
Enjoy a tantalizing combination of a crispy, nutty pistachio crust on angelically flaky salmon served atop a vibrant bed of fresh lemon herb quinoa. This dish strikes a perfect balance between savory and zesty, offering a satisfying crunch with every bite and a refreshing finish from the lemon and herbs.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz Salmon Fillet
0.5 oz pistachios (shelled)
0.5 cup cooked Quinoa
0.5 medium Lemon
1 tsp Olive Oil
2 tbsp Fresh Herbs (Parsley and Dill)
Salt & Black Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 400°F.
Pat the salmon dry with a paper towel. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
Place the pistachios in a small food processor and pulse until coarsely chopped. You can also chop them manually.
Brush the salmon lightly with olive oil, then press the chopped pistachios onto the top of the fillet to create an even crust.
Place the salmon on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for about 12-15 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
Meanwhile, prepare the quinoa as per package instructions. Once cooked, fluff with a fork.
Zest the lemon and squeeze half of its juice over the quinoa; add the chopped fresh herbs and season with salt and pepper.
Serve the pistachio-crusted salmon atop the lemon herb quinoa. Squeeze a little extra lemon juice on top if desired and enjoy!
