Balancing Lemon Garlic Herb Crusted Salmon Food

HERB-BAKED SALMON WITH LEMON AND GARLIC RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400F.
• Place all ingredients except for salmon in a small bowl and melt in the microwave for 30-45 seconds.
• Stir until combined.
• Place the salmon fillets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a Silpat.
• Using a pastry brush, coat the salmon with the lemon herb butter, evenly spreading it over the tops of each fillet.
• Bake, uncovered, on the top or second to top rack for 10-12 minutes, or until salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. (145 degrees F)
• Alternately the fish can be broiled on medium/high on the second to top rack for 8-10 minutes, or until cooked through. This method will give you a bit more crunchy, caramelized crust. (Place it directly on the pan or use tin foil. Do not use parchment paper or a Silpat for this method.)

Steps:

• Preheat broiler on high or oven to 400 degrees.
• Chop garlic, sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt and mash with the side of a chef's knife until you have a puree. Alternately just finely chop the garlic.
• Melt butter or ghee in a small sauté pan. Remove from the heat.
• Add garlic, lemon juice, parsley, dill, and pepper. Mix to combine.
• Place the salmon fillet on broiling pan or parchment-lined baking sheet.
• Using a spoon, spread the lemon-herb mixture evenly over the top of the fillet.
• Sprinkle with the almond flour.
• Broil on the middle rack for 8-10 minutes, or until salmon is almost cooked through for medium rare. It should still be a little pink in the middle, as it will continue to cook once removed from the oven. If you like salmon more well-done leave it to cook a few more minutes but turn the temperature down to 400 degrees so the top doesn't burn. This method gives you a nice crunchy, caramelized crust.
• Alternately the fish can be baked in a 400-degree oven on the top rack for 10-12 minutes, or until cooked through.
