Instructions
- Turn oven on broiler.
- In a small bowl, combine the chopped, sliced almonds with the panko crumbs. Set aside.
- Line a large baking sheet with foil. Lightly spray with olive oil. Place each salmon fillet on the foil lined baking sheet, leaving an inch between pieces. If your salmon has skin, you can remove it first, or place the salmon skin side down on the baking sheet. Spread the top of the salmon with basil pesto, evenly distributing the pesto to each piece of salmon. Take a handful of the almond/crumb mixture and press it onto each salmon fillet. Use all of the mixture.
- Lightly spray the tops of the almond crusted salmon with olive oil spray.
- Broil in MIDDLE rack of oven for about 7 minutes. Move oven rack to top and broil an additional 2 minutes. Salmon should flake with a fork. Depending on the thickness of your fillets, you may need to add or subtract baking time.
Notes
- Salmon should flake easily with a fork when it's done cooking. You may need to add more or less broiling time depending on the size of your filets and your oven's broil temperature.
- If your salmon has skin on it, place it on the baking sheet skin side down. You can also remove the skin from the salmon if preferred.
- Almond Pesto Salmon is best enjoyed the same day it's made for freshness and crispiness
