The aromatic lime pistachio salmon with green vegetables from Spoonsparrow is packed with omega‑3 fatty acids.

Ingredients

  • 250 g frozen edamame (Asia supermarket)
  • Salt
  • 350 g kale leaves
  • 300 g broccolini (or broccoli)
  • 100 g pistachio nuts
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 120 ml Vegetable broth
  • 1 organic lime (zest and juice)
  • Pepper
  • 500 g salmon fillets (4 pieces of 125 g each)

Instructions

  1. 1.

    Cook edamame in boiling salted water for 5 minutes; then rinse under cold water and drain. Meanwhile, clean the kale, wash it, and cut into noodle‑like strips. Clean and wash the broccolini. Pulse 50 g pistachios in a food processor, leaving the rest roughly chopped.

  2. 2.

    Heat 2 tbsp oil in a large pan. Add the kale and sauté for 5 minutes over medium heat. Add the broth and simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally over low heat. Then add the broccolini and edamame and continue to simmer for another 5 minutes until the liquid has evaporated. Stir in the ground pistachios, lime zest, and juice, seasoning with salt and pepper.

  3. 3.

    While the kale cooks, rinse and pat dry the salmon fillets. Place them in a baking dish, brush with remaining oil, and season with salt and pepper. Bake in a preheated oven at 160 °C (fan‑forced 140 °C; gas: level 2) for 13–15 minutes depending on thickness; the center may remain slightly translucent.

  4. 4.

    Arrange the green vegetables on plates. Place the salmon fillets on top and sprinkle with chopped pistachios. Serve with a herb dip.
