Almond Crusted Salmon

I’m trying to incorporate more seafood and fish into my diet. It’s full of nutrients and something I tend to forget about eating. This recipe is a super simple, flavorful salmon that can be prepped in under 10 minutes. It doesn’t get much easier than that. Add your favorite veggies on the side, and you’ll have a weeknight meal that is done in no time.

Ingredients
  • 1 C sliced almonds
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 green onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 C fresh basil, roughly chopped
  • 2 tsp sea salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1 egg
  • 1 1/4 lb wild-caught salmon

Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.  Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a food processor, add the almonds, garlic, green onion, basil, 1 teaspoon sea salt, pepper, and egg. Pulse the mixture until it’s combined but still chunky.
  3. Place the salmon on the parchment-lined sheet pan and pat it dry with a paper towel. Sprinkle the salmon with 1 teaspoon sea salt. Spread the almond crust evenly over the salmon and press it down firmly.
  4. Place the sheet pan with the salmon into the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes. The salmon should be flaky when it is fully cooked. Serve with lemon slices.
