Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Prepare the vegetables and place them on a sheet pan or in a large ovenproof dish. Drizzle them with half of the olive oil. Salt and pepper, and combine well. Make some space in the middle of the sheet pan and place the salmon there.
- In a bowl, mix the walnuts, the rest of the olive oil, parmesan cheese, and spices. Cover the salmon with the mixture.
- Bake for 20 minutes in the oven or until the fish reaches an inner temperature of 122-125°F (50-52°C).
- For the herb sauce, stir in the chopped herbs and garlic powder in the sour cream in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Refrigerate until serving.
- Serve the salmon and veggies together with the herb sauce.
Tips
If you don't have parmesan, you can replace it with another type of cheese – aged cheddar or feta cheese works great.
You can also vary the vegetables depending on the season, taste, and budget. You can basically use anything you have at home. Same thing with substituting walnut with pistachio, almond, or hazelnut. If you are allergic to nuts, you can use sunflower seeds or pumpkin seeds.
If you don't have fresh herbs for the sauce, you can also use their dried variants.
It's a spice mix you can make at home. The packages usually have sugars, starches and/or msg. If you click or tap on the words "ranch seasoning" it will direct you to our recipe.
