Almond crust

Amaretto butter

Method

Prepare crust

  1. 1

    Whisk egg

    In a shallow dish, whisk the egg and set aside.

  2. 2

    Mix crust dry ingredients

    In a separate bowl, mix almond meal or finely ground almonds with panko breadcrumbs, salt, and black pepper.

  3. 3

    Oil salmon

    Brush the salmon fillets lightly with olive oil and pat dry.

Coat salmon

  1. 4

    Egg dip and crust

    Dip each salmon fillet in the beaten egg, then press into the almond crust mixture to evenly coat all sides.

Cook salmon

  1. 5

    Preheat and sear

    Heat a heavy skillet over medium-high heat and add a little olive oil. Place crusted fillets into the skillet crust-side down. Sear 2-3 minutes until the crust is golden and set.

  2. 6

    Finish in oven

    Flip the fillets and cook 1-2 minutes on the other side, then transfer the skillet to a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C). Bake for 5-7 minutes, or until the salmon registers just 125-130°F (52-54°C) for medium-rare to medium.

Amaretto butter

  1. 7

    Melt butter

    In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter.

  2. 8

    Add Amaretto and lemon

    Whisk in the Amaretto liqueur and lemon juice; season with salt and black pepper. Keep warm until serving.

To serve

  1. 9

    Spoon the warm Amaretto butter over the salmon. Garnish with chopped parsley or lemon twists if desired. Serve immediately.
