Ingredients
- 1 1/2 lb salmon fillets
- 2 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1/4 cup chopped pistachios
- 1/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 2 tbsp grated Parmesan
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1 count lemon
- 1 clove garlic
- 1 cup long-grain white rice
- 1 lb asparagus
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 tsp salt
Steps
- Cook the rice. Heat the oven to 400°F and line a sheet pan.
- Lay the salmon on the pan and brush with the mustard stirred with the honey and 1 tablespoon lemon juice.
- Mix the pistachios, panko, Parmesan, minced garlic and melted butter and press onto the tops. Add the asparagus around the fish with a drizzle of oil and salt.
- Bake 10 to 12 minutes until the salmon flakes easily (145°F inside) and the crust is golden.
- Serve with rice and lemon wedges. (For a nut-free family, use extra panko instead of pistachios.)
- Picky eaters can have plain salmon with rice, with the crumb topping and asparagus on the side.
- Make ahead: mix the crumb topping up to a day ahead and keep it covered in the fridge.
On the side: Fresh fruit (2 min)
1 lb fruit (grapes or apples)
- Wash and slice the fruit and put it on the table.
