Equipment

  • Baking Sheet – For baking the salmon fillets to get that perfect crispy crust.
  • Mixing Bowl – To prepare the herb and almond flour mixture for the crust.
  • Pastry Brush – For brushing olive oil onto the salmon fillets, helping the herbs stick and add flavor.
  • Measuring Spoons – To accurately measure ingredients like olive oil, salt, and pepper.
  • Parchment Paper – To line the baking sheet, making cleanup easy and keeping the salmon from sticking.

Ingredients

  • 2 Salmon Fillets 6 oz each
  • 1/4 Cup Almond Flour
  • 1 Tbsp Fresh Dill chopped
  • 1 Tbsp Fresh Parsley chopped
  • Zest of 1 Lemon
  • 1 Tsp Olive Oil
  • Sea Salt and Black Pepper to taste
  • Lemon Wedges for serving

Instructions

  • Preheat the Oven
    Heat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with Parchment Paper for easy cleanup.
  • Prepare the Herb Mix
    In a mixing bowl, combine Almond Flour, Dill, Parsley, and Lemon Zest. Add a pinch of Sea Salt and Black Pepper. This mix will give the salmon that crispy, herb-packed crust.
  • Brush the Salmon
    Place the Salmon Fillets on the baking sheet, skin side down. Brush the tops with Olive Oil to help the herb mixture stick and add a nice golden finish.
  • Coat with Herbs
    Press the herb mixture onto each salmon fillet, making sure the tops are well-covered. Don’t be shy—it’s what gives this dish its flavor and crunch.
  • Bake the Salmon
    Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and the crust is golden.
  • Serve and Enjoy
    Transfer to plates and serve with Lemon Wedges for a burst of fresh flavor. Pair it with a side of veggies or a salad to complete the meal.
