Salmon Almondine

Pan-seared goodness is what you’ll get with this recipe. Beautiful salmon filets are topped with buttery, golden almond slices for a delicious seafood dinner that practically makes itself. 

Ingredients

8 ounces salmon (2 fillets)

pinch salt, pepper

2 tablespoons butter, divided

¼ cup @farmfreshnuts almond slices

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 lemon, juiced

Handful fresh herbs (parsley, chives, basil, cilantro etc)

Instructions

Pat salmon dry.  Sprinkle fillets on both sides with salt and pepper.

Pat the Fish Dry + Season

In a large shallow pan, melt half the butter (1 tablespoon) over medium-low heat.

When the butter is melted (but not browned) add the almonds and cook until the nuts are golden (2-3 minutes). Scoop the almonds out of the butter and set aside.

Increase heat to medium. Add remaining 1 tablespoon butter and the olive oil to the pan. (If using an extremely fatty type of salmon, such as King salmon, skip the olive oil).

Place the fillets in the pan and cook 2-4 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillets.

As the fish cooks, the flesh will begin to turn opaque from the bottom up. When the fish has cooked halfway through, it’s ready to flip.

Avoid touching the fish until the fish is ready to flip.
