Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1/2 cup raw almonds
- 1/4 cup panko bread crumbs
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 egg white
- 4 salmon fillets
- lemon juice
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400° F. Coat a broiler pan with cooking spray.
- In a food processor, pulse the almonds until finely ground (do not over process – you do not want to turn it into a nut butter!). Place in a shallow bowl or dish. Add the panko, cumin, paprika, salt and pepper. Stir to combine.
- Whisk the egg white in a separate small bowl. Brush each salmon fillet with the egg white.
- Take 1 salmon fillet and dredge in the almond mixture; place on broiler pan. Repeat with remaining fillets. Sprinkle any remaining crumb mixture evenly over salmon; press gently so it will stay on the fish.
- Bake at 400° for 15-20 minutes or until fish is cooked thoroughly (internal temperature of at least 145 degrees F). Spritz lemon juice on top of cooked fillets, if desired. Serve hot and enjoy!
Notes
You can substitute the almonds with almond meal if you don’t have a food processor.
