Wild Salmon and Asparagus Quiche

Here's a recipe for a Wild Salmon and Asparagus Quiche that's both delicious and nutritious. The perfect dish for a light lunch or dinner.

This recipe is inspired by the Pacific Northwest, where wild salmon and asparagus are both abundant. Salmon is a great source of protein and healthy fats, while asparagus is a good source of fiber and vitamins. This quiche is a great way to get your fill of both of these nutrient-rich foods.

Prep time: 15 | Cook time: 35 | Serves: 4

Ingredients

• 1 (9-inch) pie crust, homemade or store-bought
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1/2 onion, chopped
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1 cup chopped asparagus
• 1 (14.75 ounce) can wild salmon, flaked
• 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
• 1/4 cup nutritional yeast
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and garlic and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
3. Add asparagus and cook until tender, about 3 minutes.
4. Stir in salmon, almond milk, nutritional yeast, salt, and pepper. Cook until heated through, about 2 minutes.
5. Pour mixture into pie crust and bake in preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until golden brown.
6. Let cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.

Why It Works

• The combination of wild salmon and asparagus is a classic for a reason. The flavors of the two ingredients complement each other perfectly.
• The almond milk and nutritional yeast give the quiche a creamy, cheesy texture without the use of dairy.
• The quiche is baked in a pie crust, which gives it a crispy, flaky exterior.
