Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Salmon fillets (skinless)
- 0.5 cups Hazelnuts
- 0.25 cups Panko breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese (grated)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 whole Lemon (cut into wedges for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
In a food processor, pulse the hazelnuts until they are coarsely ground. Be careful not to over-process them into a paste.
In a medium bowl, combine the ground hazelnuts, panko breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, parsley, salt, and black pepper. Stir until evenly mixed.
Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel to remove any excess moisture. Place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Brush the top of each salmon fillet with Dijon mustard to create a sticky base for the crust.
Spoon the hazelnut mixture evenly over the Dijon-coated salmon fillets and gently press down to form a crust.
Drizzle a small amount of olive oil over the crust on each fillet to help it crisp up during baking.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
Remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for 2-3 minutes before serving.
Serve the hazelnut-crusted salmon with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the top, and enjoy!
