HAZELNUT CRUSTED SALMON
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Cut salmon filet into 4 equal-sized pieces. Place in baking sheet coated with cooking spray. Spread mayonnaise on filets (about 2 tablespoons on each). Top with chopped hazelnuts; sprinkle each filet with tarragon, orange peel, salt, and pepper. Bake in preheated oven approximately 15 minutes or until fish flakes easily with fork (time varies with thickness of filet).
Tips:
- To ensure crispy and flavorful salmon, choose a thick salmon fillet cut, as it will hold up better during cooking.
- For a crispy and crunchy crust, use a combination of panko breadcrumbs, hazelnuts, and grated Parmesan cheese.
- Press the hazelnut crust firmly onto the salmon before cooking to help it adhere.
- Cook the salmon on a greased baking sheet or skillet over medium heat to prevent it from sticking.
- Bake the salmon for about 15-20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare or 155°F (68°C) for medium.
- Garnish the cooked salmon with fresh herbs like parsley or chives for a pop of color and flavor.
