36 ounces skinless salmon fillet, 6 fillets

  • On one plate combine the almonds, parsley, lemon peel, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/8 tsp pepper; on a second place, place the flour.
  • Season the salmon lightly with salt and freshly ground pepper.
  • Dredge the salmon in the flour, shaking off the excess.
  • With a brush, lightly coat 1 side of the fillet with beaten egg, then press the coated side into the almond mixture on the plate; press lightly so that the mixture adheres to the fillet.
  • Repeat crusting step with all fillets.
  • Ready 2 heavy skillets on the stovetop over medium temperature; in each melt 1 Tbsp butter and 1 Tbsp olive oil.

ROASTED ALMOND CRUSTED SALMON WITH POMEGRANATE GLAZE.



ROASTED ALMOND CRUSTED SALMON WITH POMEGRANATE GLAZE. image

Categories     Fish     Dinner

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 pound of salmon (cut into 4 pieces) or 4 salmon filets
2 egg whites, lightly beaten
1 cup crushed roasted almonds
3/4 cup panko bread crumbs
1/2 cup regular seasoned bread crumbs
1/3 cup flour (any kind works)
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
2/3 cup pomegranate balsamic vinegar (regular balsamic will work too)
1/3 cup pomegranate juice

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Place aluminum foil on a baking sheet, then set a wire rack on top. Spray the rack with non-stick spray. In a bowl, combine flour, panko, almonds, bread crumbs, and a half teaspoon each of salt and pepper. In a separate bowl, add the egg whites and lightly beat with a fork. Season the salmon with the remaining salt and pepper on both sides. Dip each piece in the egg white and coat thoroughly, then set in the bowl filled with bread crumbs, covered each piece completely and lightly pressing so the coating adheres. Gently place on the wire rack. I find that spritzing each piece of salmon with non-stick spray or olive oil gives the crust a nice crisp. Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until crust is golden brown and fish is flakey. Immediately after the fish goes into the oven, combine the vinegar and pom juice in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Let simmer for 5-8 minutes, watching carefully as mixture does not boil over and stirring every so often. Turn off heat and let sit aside for 10-15 minutes to thicken. Drizzle on salmon before serving.

If you're someone who loves to cook seafood or experiment with different recipes at home, then you must have tried making almond crusted salmon recipes. A perfectly cooked salmon, crisp and crunchy on the outside and tender on the inside, is a delicacy that everyone loves. Almond crusted salmon recipes are a perfect blend of flavors that complement the unique taste of salmon. However, if you're new to cooking or haven't tried making this dish before, you might feel a bit anxious. Don't worry; we've got you covered with some valuable tips that can help you make a delicious almond crusted salmon recipe.

1. Choosing the right salmon

The first and most crucial step in making a perfect almond crusted salmon dish is choosing the right salmon. Always go for wild salmon instead of farm-raised salmon, as it contains fewer contaminants, is healthier, and has a better taste. Also, choose salmon fillets that are fresh, firm, and shiny, without any brown spots or odor.

2. Preparing the salmon

Before you start coating the salmon with almond crust, it is essential to prepare it properly. Rinse the salmon fillets under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel. Make sure you remove any bones and skin from the fillets.
3. Creating the almond crust
Creating a perfect almond crust is crucial for the taste and texture of the dish. You can use slivered or crushed almonds to make the crust. Several variations of almond crust can be used, depending on your preference. However, this is the standard mix that you can follow:
  • 1/2 cup of ground almonds
  • 1/2 cup of panko breadcrumbs
  • 2 tablespoons of olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
Mix all the ingredients in a bowl, and your perfect almond crust is ready.

4. Coating the salmon

Coating the salmon with the almond crust is easy, but you need to be careful to get the perfect coating. Spread the almond mix on a plate, and place the salmon fillet over the mix, patting down to get an even coating. Once it's sufficiently coated with the almond mix, shake off any excess.

5. Cooking the salmon

There are several ways to cook salmon; baking, grilling, searing, or pan-frying. You can choose the method that suits you best. However, regardless of the cooking method, make sure that you don't overcook the fish. Overcooked fish can become dry and lose its flavor.

6. Using the right seasoning

Although the almond crust provides a unique taste to the dish, seasoning the fish correctly makes a huge difference in the end result. You can use herbs such as thyme, rosemary, or dill, which complement the flavor of salmon. Lemon juice, garlic, and ginger are also great options for seasoning the fish.

7. Pairing the dish with the right sides

A perfectly cooked almond crusted salmon dish deserves the right sides to complement the flavor. You can pair it with a fresh salad, steamed veggies, or a side of roasted potatoes. A glass of white wine or champagne can also be a great addition to the meal.

8. Presentation is key

Presenting the dish is the final step to make your almond crusted salmon dish stand out. Serve the dish on a bed of greens, garnish with lemon wedges and herbs, and voila! You have a delicious and impressive dish.

Conclusion

With these valuable tips, creating an almond crusted salmon dish at home can be a piece of cake. Always remember to choose fresh, wild salmon, prepare it properly, create an excellent almond crust, pair it with the right sides, and present it beautifully. Be confident and experiment with different variations to find the perfect recipe that suits your preferences. So, next time you plan on cooking salmon at home, try making an almond crusted salmon dish, and impress your guests with a unique and delicious recipe.
