Ingredients
- 18 oz salmon
- 1 oz chopped almonds
- ½ tbsp nutritional yeast
- 2 tsp olive oil
- 2 tsp dijon mustard
- 1 tsp honey
- ¼ tsp garlic powder
- salt & pepper to taste
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with tin foil and then add parchment paper on top.
- Chop the almonds into small pieces for the crust. You can use a food processor or a good knife. Put the chopped almonds in a small bowl, and mix together with the nutritional yeast.
- In another small bowl, combine the olive oil, honey, dijon mustard, and garlic powder.
- Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel. Put the fillets on the baking sheet. Spread the honey mixture on top so the fillets are evenly coated. Sprinkle salt and pepper on top.
- Sprinkle the chopped almonds on top of the honey mixture until the fillets are coated in the crust.
- Bake the salmon in the oven for 12-15 minutes or until the salmon is flaky when pulled apart with a fork. I also use a meat thermometer to make sure that the internal temperature is at 110 to 140 degrees at the thickest part of the salmon.
- Enjoy warm! Can store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days.
