Salmon with Roasted Carrots and Pistachio-Lemon Gremolata

A vibrant and flavorful dish featuring pan-seared salmon, roasted carrots with a hint of sweetness, and a zesty pistachio-lemon gremolata.

Ingredients:

  • 1.5 lbs Salmon fillet, skin on
  • 1 lb Carrots, peeled and sliced into rounds
  • 2 tbsp Olive oil
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1/2 tsp Black pepper
  • 1/4 cup Pistachios, roughly chopped
  • 1/4 cup Fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • Zest of 1 Lemon
  • 2 tbsp Lemon juice
  • 1 clove Garlic, minced

Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss carrots with olive oil, salt, and pepper on a baking sheet. Roast for 20-25 minutes, until tender and slightly caramelized.

  2. While carrots roast, prepare the gremolata. Combine pistachios, parsley, lemon zest, lemon juice, and garlic in a small bowl. Mix well.

  3. Season salmon fillets with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear salmon for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown.

  4. Transfer skillet to the preheated oven and bake for an additional 8-10 minutes, or until salmon is cooked through.

  5. Serve roasted carrots topped with pistachio-lemon gremolata alongside pan-seared salmon.
