SALMON WITH A MACADAMIA NUT CRUST

This was made with Atlantic Salmon but I'm sure any kind salmon will do. Easy enough to make and serve over brown rice. To get the nut coating to be nice and crispy take the suggestion from mikekey and chop the nuts very fine also make sure the egg white is nice and frothy. Once you put the fish in the pan do not peek by lifting the fish up until it is nicely brown and crispy. Another suggestion, macadamia nuts are delicious but pricey so tonight I made this using wild Pacific salmon and finely chopped walnuts and it was good also.

2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons salted butter
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, minced
1 teaspoon lemon juice, squeeze fresh

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality ingredients: Use fresh salmon fillets, plain yogurt, and raw macadamia nuts. If the ingredients are high quality, the final dish will turn out better.
  • Don't overcook the salmon: Salmon is a delicate fish that can easily become dry and overcooked. Cook it just until it is cooked through, which is usually about 8-10 minutes per inch of thickness.
  • Use a non-stick pan: A non-stick pan will help prevent the salmon from sticking to the pan. If you don't have a non-stick pan, you can grease the pan with cooking spray or oil.
  • Serve the salmon with a variety of sides: Salmon goes well with roasted vegetables, rice, or a simple salad.

Conclusion:

Macadamia nut and yogurt-crusted salmon is a delicious and healthy dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its crispy crust and tender, flaky flesh, this salmon dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
