Zest the lemon, chop the parsley and mince the garlic. Toast the pistachios in a dry skillet until fragrant and then chop. Combine these ingredients in a small bowl to make the pistachio topping, and set aside. Snap off the tough ends of asparagus spears, and place on a baking sheet. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, toss to coat, then sprinkle with a pinch of salt. Pat the salmon dry with paper towels, and place it skin-side down on a baking sheet. Rub with 2 teaspoons of olive oil, and sprinkle with a pinch of salt and pepper. Place the baking sheets in the oven. Roast the asparagus for about 12 minutes, until tender and lightly browned, shaking them midway. Roast the salmon for about 8 to 12 minutes, until the flesh flakes when pressed gently with a fork and reaches 135 degrees. The fish will continue to cook a bit after removing from the heat, so start checking after 8 minutes to be sure you don’t overcook them (wild salmon will take even less time than farmed, so start to check them after 5 minutes). Arrange the asparagus on a serving plate, top with a salmon fillet, then scatter the pistachio mix on top, and serve. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/6008ab03e2bca511ab64badc/t/604815e547735a08aec71046/1615337090728/salmonandasparagus_finished.jpg Roasted Salmon and Asparagus https://static1.squarespace.com/static/6008ab03e2bca511ab64badc/t/604815186ff4047176ffc257/1615337002976/salmonandasparagus_finished.jpg Roasted Salmon and Asparagus - Roasted Salmon and Asparagus with Crunchy Pistachios Oranges are abundant and are often on sale at the grocery store at this time of year.
