Salmon is great on its own, but when you add a crunchy almond crust and a sweet and savory sauce, you get a super delicious dinner that will earn you rave reviews. Serve with fried rice for a complete meal.
I’m always on a mission to get more seafood into our diet. The kids will eat shrimp and some fish occasionally depending on their mood. So far salmon is definitely the favorite in the fish category. To be honest, I was a little skeptical that any of the girls would eat this, but all three ate it and enjoyed it! If that’s not a seal of approval I don’t know what is. Best of all, the recipe only has about 7 ingredients and is ready in 20 minutes. I added this recipe to my list of family favorite fish recipes along with baked tilapia with garlic butter, honey glazed salmon and mojo fish kababs.
How do you make almond crusted salmon?
The crust for this salmon is a combination of finely chopped roasted almonds and sesame seeds, it adds so much flavor and texture to the fish. A three ingredient honey garlic sauce gets poured over the top and dinner is served!
The only trick to this recipe is to watch the crust carefully so that it doesn’t burn. I like to serve this almond crusted salmon over rice with a green vegetable on the side. Put the pot of rice up to steam at the same time that you start cooking the salmon and everything will be done at the same time!
This is one of those meals that looks and tastes fancy but really takes no more time and effort than throwing a frozen pizza in the oven. And won’t you feel so much better eating this salmon? If my picky eaters liked it, your fish haters might enjoy it too! Still hungry? Follow Dinner at the Zoo on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Pinterest for more great recipe ideas!
