Categories side-dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups toasted walnuts
1 1/4 cups rolled oats
1 1/2 tablespoons maple syrup
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 teaspoon dried sage
1 teaspoon dried thyme
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
1/2 teaspoon cayenne
1/4 teaspoon grated nutmeg
2 pinches of crushed red pepper
3 large eggs
Freshly ground black pepper
Flavorless oil, such as canola or vegetable, for frying

Steps:

In a food processor, pulse the nuts to a coarse crumb. Add the oats, maple syrup, brown sugar, sage, thyme, salt, rosemary, cayenne, nutmeg, red pepper, eggs and some black pepper and continue to pulse just until the mixture comes together into a thick batter. There should still be some coarse bits of oats and walnuts.
Heat a generous layer of oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Dollop 2 tablespoons of batter per patty into the skillet, allowing at least 1 inch between patties, flatten them slightly and cook until golden brown on the bottom, about 4 minutes. Flip and cook until golden brown on the other side, another 4 minutes. Transfer to a plate lined with a paper towel to soak up excess oil. Repeat with the remaining batter.

Tips:

Select the freshest salmon possible: Look for firm, bright-colored fillets with no fishy odor.
Use a food processor to create the walnut-oat crust: This will ensure that the nuts and oats are evenly ground and will help the crust adhere to the salmon.
Press the crust firmly onto the salmon: This will help to ensure that the crust stays in place during cooking.
Use a nonstick skillet or baking sheet to cook the salmon: This will help to prevent the salmon from sticking and will make it easier to clean up.
Cook the salmon until it is cooked through: The internal temperature of the salmon should reach 145 degrees Fahrenheit (63 degrees Celsius).
Serve the salmon immediately: Salmon is best served hot and fresh out of the oven.

Conclusion:

This walnut-and-oat crusted salmon is a delicious and healthy way to enjoy this versatile fish. The crust is crispy and flavorful, and the salmon is cooked to perfection. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
