Maple Walnut Crusted Salmon
Description
The recipe coats salmon filets with salt and cracked black pepper before covering them in a finely chopped walnut crust mixture prepared in a food processor using walnuts, Italian parsley, gluten-free breadcrumbs, garlic, paprika, black pepper, and salt. The walnut crust lends a crunchy texture and herby aroma to the fish.
A glaze made from ghee or unsalted butter, maple syrup, coconut aminos, ground ginger, minced garlic, lemon juice, and arrowroot powder is heated until slightly thickened. Half is brushed over the crusted salmon before baking and the other half reserved for drizzling at serving time. Baking at 400°F for about 15 minutes ensures the salmon is cooked through while the crust remains crisp and the glaze caramelizes lightly on the surface.
This salmon is suitable for a main course that balances sweet, savory, nutty, and citrus flavors with a moist interior and crisp topping.
