Roasted Salmon & Pistachio Mole
To create this healthy fusion of flavors, Chef Andres starts by roasting a buttery salmon fillet, then pairs it with zesty Mexican-style couscous loaded with fresh tomatoes, onion, jalapeño, cilantro, and lime. The crowning touch is his mole sauce—a rich, complex blend of roasted pistachios, tangy tomatillos, serrano chiles, and warm spices, slowly simmered in chicken stock until thick and fragrant. A side of tender, garlicky green beans brings balance and a final burst of flavor.
