Nut Crusted Salmon

 

Salmon is high in Omegas.  Good at reducing inflammation, high in antioxidants and a source of good fat. I try to incorporate salmon in as much as I think my family will let me without complaining!

This salmon dish incorporates good fats, detox, an anti-inflammatory twist with all the flavor and deliciousness your family wants and is so simple to make which makes the cook happy! Try it out and let me know if it’s a family pleaser.

 

Serves 4

  • 1/2 cup Pistachios shelled
  • 1/4 tsp Sea Salt
  • 4 -5 ounce  Salmon Fillet
  • 1/4 cup Pine Nuts
  • 2 Garlic clove’s minced
  • 2 cups Parsley (chopped)
  • 1/4 cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • 1 head Cauliflower (chopped into florets)

Directions:

 

  1. Preheat oven to 375. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Place pistachios and sea salt in a blender and pulse just until coarse but not into a fine powder. (Do not over process!)
  3. Lay fillets on the baking sheet and coat with the pistachio mixture. Place in the oven and bake for 15 minutes or until fish flakes with a fork.
  4. Meanwhile, create your pesto by combining the pine nuts, garlic, parsley, olive oil and lemon juice in the food processor. Blend until smooth and transfer to a jar.
  5. Create your cauliflower rice by adding the florets to the food processor. Process until the cauliflower has a rice-like consistency. Transfer into a bowl.
  6. Remove the salmon from the oven. To serve, add a few spoonfuls of cauliflower rice to the plate and top with salmon. Add a spoonful of pesto and garnish with a lemon wedge. Enjoy!

 

Are your weeks full and busy? I know as a mom, wife and business owner mealtime planning and cooking can sometimes be overwhelming and if I’m not careful grabbing something at the last minute happens more times than I want.  I created WHOLE MEAL with you and myself in mind.

Weekday Meals made easy + affordable + healthy

As a busy mom and wife, planning meals that are both healthy and delicious can sometimes become challenging. When meal plan delivery first came out I was excited and researched all the different plans.  Now don’t get me wrong having all the ingredients delivered right to your front door sounds great.  However, suffering from an autoimmune disorder most of those plans wouldn’t work for me and my family.  I wish they would but I need more specific foods in my personal diet.  That’s why I started this NEW PROGRAM!

Each month you receive a new meal plan with a menu, shopping list, tips and prep ideas to make cooking a breeze and health.
