Walnut Crusted Salmon
A crunchy, herby crust on the perfectly cooked salmon
Ingredients
- 2 Atlantic Salmon fillets I like Greensbury Market
- 1 cup Walnuts
- 1 tablespoon Avocado oil
- ½ Lemon juiced
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon Garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon Dill
- Salt and pepper
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees.
- Combine walnuts, avocado oil, lemon juice, dijon mustard, garlic, dill, salt and pepper into your food processor. Pulse until the texture of walnuts is finely chopped- not quite a paste, but it should stick together.
- Place your salmon on a sheet pan covered with foil that is coated in non-stick spray. Put a small amount of avocado oil and salt/pepper on your salmon. Then put your walnut mixture on top of your salmon (half on one fillet and half on the other).
- Cook in the oven for 18 minutes or until salmon is cooked through- keep in mind everyone's oven is different so it may need another minute or two. If you are using an air fryer, cook on 375 degrees for 12 minutes.
Notes
- You can cook this on entire fillet if you are cooking for a family, just double the crust recipe
- I love asparagus as a side, but it would go great on quinoa, rice, or even on a salad.
