ALMOND CRUSTED SALMON WITH LEEK AND LEMON CREAM
We're blessed with an abundance of fresh salmon, here in the Pacific Northwest. Here's a favorite way to prepare them! From "Bon Appétit" magazine, this one is absolutely wonderful. LJ entry of Thursday, April 18th, 2002. Although the directions are long, they are detailed and not difficult to follow. Serve with pilaf and salad (recipe #36428 is especially good with this).

Steps:
- Carefully clean leeks: cut off the stemmy bottoms and the dark green leaves, so you end up with with white and light green parts only (dirt can get in between the leaves, so wash them out well).
- Cut leeks lengthwise in half, then slice thinly.
- In a large heavy saucepan over medium high temperature, melt 2 tablespoons butter and add prepared leeks and stir; sauté for 2 minutes, then reduce the temperature to low, add sherry, stir well, cover, and cook until the leeks are quite tender, stirring occasionally, for about 20 minutes.
- Increase temperature to medium, add the lemon juice and stir for 1 minute or until the liquid evaporates.
- Stir in the cream and simmer until mixture is slightly reduced, about 2 minutes.
- Let cool slightly, then transfer to a blender or food processor and blend until smooth.
- Pour mixture through a sieve into the same saucepan, pressing on the solids in the sieve; discard solids.
- Season to taste with salt and freshly ground black or tricolor pepper - at this point the sauce can be covered and refrigerated for one day previous to making the remainder of the recipe.
- On one plate combine the almonds, parsley, lemon peel, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/8 tsp pepper; on a second place, place the flour.
- Season the salmon lightly with salt and freshly ground pepper.
- Dredge the salmon in the flour, shaking off the excess.
- With a brush, lightly coat 1 side of the fillet with beaten egg, then press the coated side into the almond mixture on the plate; press lightly so that the mixture adheres to the fillet.
- Repeat crusting step with all fillets.
- Ready 2 heavy skillets on the stovetop over medium temperature; in each melt 1 Tbsp butter and 1 Tbsp olive oil.
- Place 3 crusted salmon fillets in each skillet, almond mixture side down, and sauté for about 5 minutes and the crust is brown.
- Turn fillets over and sauté until fish is cooked through and fillets are opaque in the centers, about 5 minutes.
- Transfer fillets to serving platter or plates.
- Over medium temperature, reheat the lemon cream sauce, then spoon sauce around the salmon and serve.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Bring a medium pan of water to the boil. Add the potatoes and cook for 8 mins. Drain and leave to steam-dry in a colander for a few minutes. Toss the potatoes with ½ of the oil and plenty of seasoning in a baking tray. Put in the oven for 20 mins, tossing halfway through the cooking time.
- Meanwhile, heat the remaining oil in a frying pan over a medium heat. Add the leek and fry for 5 mins, or until beginning to soften. Stir through the garlic for 1 min, then add the cream, capers and 75ml hot water, then bring to the boil. Stir through the chives.
- Heat the grill to high. Pour the creamy leek mixture over the potatoes, then sit the salmon fillets on top. Grill for 7-8 mins, or until just cooked through. Serve topped with extra chives and capers and a salad on the side, if you like.

Tips:
- Choose the right salmon. Look for a fresh, wild-caught salmon fillet that is about 1 inch thick.
- Make sure the salmon is cooked through. The best way to tell if salmon is cooked through is to insert a fork into the thickest part of the fillet. If the fork comes out clean, the salmon is cooked.
- Serve the salmon immediately. Almond-crusted salmon is best served immediately after it is cooked. The crispy crust will start to soften if the salmon sits for too long.
- Garnish the salmon with fresh herbs. Fresh herbs, such as dill, parsley, or chives, add a pop of color and flavor to the dish.
- Serve the salmon with a side of lemon wedges. Lemon wedges add a bright, citrusy flavor to the salmon.
Conclusion:
Almond-crusted salmon with leek and lemon cream is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight meal. The crispy almond crust adds a nice crunch to the salmon, while the leek and lemon cream sauce is rich and flavorful. This dish is sure to impress your guests!
