Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 oz each) Salmon fillets
- 0.5 cup Almond flour
- 0.25 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh dill
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 1 whole, sliced into wedges Lemon
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, combine the almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, chopped dill, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create the herb crust mixture.
Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and place them skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
Brush the tops of the salmon fillets with the olive oil to create a thin, even coating.
Evenly distribute the herb crust mixture over the tops of the salmon fillets, pressing gently to adhere the mixture to the fish.
Roast the salmon in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) and the top is lightly golden.
Remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve each salmon fillet with a wedge of lemon, allowing guests to squeeze fresh juice over the fish just before eating for added brightness and flavor.
