Ingredients
- 4 salmon fillets (5 to 6 oz per fillet)
- ½ cup almonds raw
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon honey
- Zest of 1 lemon
- ¼ lemon juiced
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 400°F. Bring the salmon out of the fridge and pat them dry with a paper towel if there is moisture. Let the salmon sit out to bring to room temperature while you prepare the topping.
- Roughly chop your almonds with a knife or use a food processor and run it through until you get coarsely chopped pieces. Set aside.
- In a bowl, mix together the Dijon mustard, honey, lemon zest, the juice from a quarter of a lemon. Add salt and pepper to taste.
- Place the salmon in a lined baking dish (or sheet) and spoon the Dijon mixture over each fillet and spread it evenly on top.
- Spoon the chopped almonds over the Dijon mixture into an even layer and gently press it into the salmon, so it sticks.
- Bake the salmon for 15 to 20 minutes, depending on the thickness of your fillets. The thickest part of the fish should be at least 145°F (62°C).
- Allow the salmon to rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
