                                Ingredients
For the salmon
- 1 whole large salmon filet
 - 1/2 tsp salt
 - ground pepper
 - 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
 - 1/2 cup pistachios
 - 3 tbsp Manitoba Harvest hemp seeds
 - zest of half lemon
 - 1/2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
 - 2 tbsp fresh chopped mint
 - 2 tbsp fresh chopped basil
 - 1/3 cup crumbled Feta cheese
 
For the rice
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
 - 4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced or pressed
 - 1/2 red onion, finely chopped
 - 1 red pepper, finely chopped
 - 1 orange pepper, finely chopped
 - 1 1/4 cups small cauliflower florets
 - 1 1/4 cups chopped zucchini
 - 3/4 cup basmati rice
 - 1 tsp salt
 - 1/2 tsp ground pepper
 - 1 tbsp chicken stock paste
 - 2 cups water
 - Lemon wedge
 - fresh mint leaves and fresh basil leaves for garnish
 
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375F.
 - Prepare the rice: In a nonstick 9x13 baking dish add olive oil, sliced garlic, diced red onion, diced bell peppers, cauliflower, chopped zucchini, rice, salt, pepper, chicken bouillon paste and water. Give everything a good stir to combine.
 - Bake the rice for 25 minutes.
 - While the rice is baking, prepare the salmon filet. Season the salmon generously with salt and pepper and then spread the 1 tbsp dijon mustard over the entire filet.
 - Make the pistachio crust by adding the pistachios, hemp hearts, lemon zest, olive oil, basil and fresh mint to a food processor. Pulse a few times until you have a crumble. Add the crumbled feta cheese and pulse a few times to combine - don’t pulse too much though as you’ll get a paste.
 - Spread the pistachio mixture evenly over the salmon filet. Press the pistachio mixture gently onto the piece of trout with the back of a fork. Set aside.
 - Fluff the rice mixture a bit with a fork and then nestle the salmon filet on top of the rice. Bake for 12-15 until the fish is cooked through and rice is tender and cooked through too. Squeeze a lemon wedge over the salmon and garnish with fresh mint and fresh basil leaves.
 
Notes
- Feel free to swap out the vegetables in the rice for other favourites. Or, swap zucchini for more cauliflower for example.
