Ingredients

Servings

For the salmon

  • 1 salmon filet whole large
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • black pepper ground
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 cup pistachio
  • 3 tbsp hemp seeds brand Manitoba Harvest
  • zest lemon half, juice or portion implied
  • 1/2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tbsp mint fresh, chopped
  • 2 tbsp basil fresh, chopped
  • 1/3 cup feta cheese crumbled

For the rice

  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 4 garlic thinly sliced or pressed, cloves
  • 1/2 red onion finely chopped
  • 1 red bell pepper finely chopped
  • 1 orange bell pepper finely chopped
  • 1 1/4 cups cauliflower florets small
  • 1 1/4 cups zucchini chopped
  • 3/4 cup basmati rice
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper ground
  • 1 tbsp chicken stock paste
  • 2 cups water
  • lemon wedge
  • mint fresh leaves, for garnish
  • basil fresh leaves, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375F.
  2. 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.
  3. Bake the rice for 25 minutes.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
