If you eat with your eyes, then you can already see how incredible this dish is going to be. Chef Walther bathes each salmon fillet in a marinade of spicy/smoky aji panca chiles and red miso paste for extra depth of savory flavor, then roasts to perfection and tops with a spoonful of bright, acidic chimichurri sauce. He plates it with nutty, protein-packed quinoa tossed with Peruvian-style pesto, which adds queso fresco and Parmesan (plus extra for garnish) to the traditional anise-flavored blend of fresh basil, spinach, and extra-virgin olive oil. On the side: tender-crisp roasted asparagus spears. With its blend of high protein, fiber, and good-for-you fats, this a perfect post-workout meal that tastes as great as it looks.
