Almond Crusted Salmon

Can you tell that I love salmon? My husband gives me hell about how I need to cool it on the salmon recipes…my entire fish category should be renamed “Salmon Recipes” at this point; however, it really is favorite protein! The salmon recipes WILL continue and I am not sorry about it. I am also not sorry about how delicious this Almond Crusted Salmon is.

I love coming up with new ways to enjoy my favorite food and this one is fantastic! I love the salty crust the almond flour forms over the top of the dijon coated salmon. yum. I did this as a Whole30 and Paleo rendition of one of my most favorite ways to eat Salmon, which is this Panko Crusted Salmon

Ingredients
  1. 2-4 (6-8oz) center cut salmon filets
  2. 2 tbsp. dijon mustard
  3. 1/2 cup homemade or Storebought Almond Meal (*see note below)
  4. 2 tbsp. olive oil
  5. salt and pepper, to taste
  6. 1/2 tsp. paprika
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  2. *you can either purchase store bought almond flour. If you do this, buy the almond flour from Whole Almonds, not blanched almonds. Bob's Red Mill has a good one. Or, take a cup of raw almonds (not blanched) and place them in a food processor or blender and grind them until they are finely ground into a coarse powder.
  3. Wrap a baking sheet in foil or place a sheet of parchment paper on top. Place salmon over the parchment paper or foil.
  4. Brush 1 tbsp. of dijon mustard on top of each salmon filet.
  5. In a bowl, combine the almond flour, olive oil, paprika, and salt and pepper. Using your hands, toss until it is all combined and coated in the oil.
  6. Top the salmon with the almond flour mixture so that is evenly over the top in a thin layer (you may not need to use all of your almond mixture.. don't cake it on there).
  7. Bake at 400 in the oven for 15 minutes.
  8. Remove from oven and serve immediately.
