Ingredients

  • 1 cup wild rice blend

  • 2 medium golden beets, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch wedges

  • 8 ounces Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved

  • 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided

  • ¾ teaspoon salt, divided

  • ¾ teaspoon ground pepper, divided

  • 1 lemon

  • 1 pound wild-caught salmon fillet, cut into 4 portions

  • 2 rosemary sprigs, cut in half

  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh herbs, such as thyme, basil or rosemary

  • 1 clove garlic, minced

  • 1 tablespoon chopped pistachios

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.

  2. Cook rice blend according to package directions.

  3. Meanwhile, toss beets and Brussels sprouts with 1 tablespoon oil and 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper in a medium bowl. After the rice has cooked for 10 minutes, spread the vegetables on a large rimmed baking sheet and roast until just beginning to brown and soften, about 15 minutes.

  4. Cut lemon in half crosswise. Cut half the lemon into 4 slices (reserve the other lemon half). Push the beets and Brussels sprouts to one side of the baking sheet and place salmon on the empty half. Sprinkle the salmon with 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper and top each piece of salmon with a rosemary sprig and a lemon slice. Continue roasting until the vegetables have softened and the salmon is opaque in the center, 9 to 11 minutes more.

  5. Meanwhile, squeeze the juice from the remaining lemon half into a small bowl. Whisk in the remaining 2 tablespoons oil, herbs, garlic and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper.

  6. Divide the rice among 4 bowls. Discard the lemon slices and rosemary sprig. Arrange the salmon and vegetables on top of the rice. Drizzle each serving with about 1 tablespoon lemon juice mixture and sprinkle with pistachios.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
