Almond Crusted Salmon Recipes

PARMESAN AND ALMOND CRUSTED SALMON

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F. Prepare shallow baking dish that can accommodate both fillets without overlapping by lightly spraying with cooking spray.
• Rinse salmon and pat dry with a paper towel. Place salmon fillets skin side down in baking dish.
• In a small bowl, melt butter in microwave. Add almonds, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Mix well until the almonds and cheese are well coated with the melted butter. Top each salmon portion with the topping mixture, using half for each, pressing lightly to adhere.
• Bake for 20-25 minutes, until the crust has turned light golden brown and salmon is cooked. Internal temperature of salmon should be 145°F. Cooking time depends greatly on the thickness of your salmon fillets.
• Serve immediately.

ALMOND CRUSTED SALMON WITH HONEY GARLIC SAUCE

Steps:

• For the sauce: mix together the honey, soy sauce and garlic. Add salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.
• For the salmon: Mix together the almonds and sesame seeds and pour onto a plate.
• Brush one of the tablespoons of olive oil evenly over the salmon fillets.
• Press the top of each salmon fillet into the almond mixture. Season the top of each fillet with salt and pepper to taste.
• Heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil in a large pan over medium heat.
• Place each salmon fillet, crust side down, into the pan and cook for 5 minutes, checking occasionally to make sure the crust isn't burning. Flip and cook for another 5-7 minutes or until salmon is at desired level of doneness. The length of time it takes to cook will depend in part on the thickness of the fillet.
• After the salmon is cooked through, transfer it to a serving platter and pour the reserved honey garlic sauce over the top. Garnish with green onions and sesame seeds if desired.
