- 2 medium-sized potatoes, thinly sliced
- 2 carrots, thinly sliced
- 2 sprigs of fresh rosemary
- 2 tablespoons Lemon Infused Extra Virgin Olive Oil from Puglia
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a bowl, combine the finely chopped pistachios with a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Drizzle 1 tablespoon of Lemon Infused Olive Oil over each salmon fillet, ensuring they are well-coated.
- Press the pistachio mixture onto the tops of the salmon fillets, creating a generous crust.
- Place the salmon fillets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- In a separate bowl, toss the thinly sliced potatoes and carrots with 1 tablespoon of Lemon Infused Olive Oil, salt, and pepper. Add the leaves from one rosemary sprig and mix well.
- Arrange the seasoned vegetables around the salmon fillets on the baking sheet. Place the remaining rosemary sprig on top.
- Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked to your desired level of doneness, and the vegetables are tender and slightly crispy.
- Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
Variations:
- For a hint of spice, add a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes to the pistachio mixture.
- Experiment with different types of nuts such as almonds or walnuts for a unique twist.
- Swap sweet potatoes for regular potatoes for a sweeter flavor profile.
- If you're not a fan of carrots, try asparagus or green beans as a side.
- For a complete Mediterranean experience, serve with a side of fresh Mediterranean salad drizzled with Orange Infused Olive Oil or with Rosemary Infused Olive Oil.
