Ingredients

1 pound raw almonds
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon lemon zest
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoons thyme

Steps:

Preheat oven to 300F.
Place almonds on a baking sheet in a single layer.
Toast for 30 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes. Watch carefully! If you smell the almonds, they are ready.
When toasted, place in a mixing bowl.
Combine olive oil, lemon juice, and lemon zest in a small bowl.
Pour over the toasted almonds and stir to combine.
I pour the almonds onto a paper towel after a few minutes to soak up the excess olive oil.
Store in an air-tight container until you eat them all or for a week, whichever comes first.

SALMON WITH THYME, LEMON BUTTER AND ALMONDS

Salmon With Thyme, Lemon Butter and Almonds image

Even seasoned cooks can be anxious about cooking fish, but nothing could be simpler than oiling a large piece of foil, setting the fish on it and then pressing a few scallions and some thyme into the cavity. Wrap it all into a tightly sealed parcel, put it on a baking sheet and roast it. In truth, any fish can be cooked like this, and you can play around with the herbs, depending on what is available. This is a very good-natured recipe.

Ingredients

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 4-pound salmon, cleaned and scaled, head and tail removed
2 scallions, trimmed
1 small bunch (about 1/2 cup) fresh thyme
6 tablespoons melted butter
1 tablespoon sea salt
1/3 cup sliced almonds
Juice of half a lemon

Steps:

Heat oven to 400 degrees. Lay out a double layer of foil big enough to wrap fish in, and drizzle with oil. Place fish on foil. Put scallions and half the thyme in cavity of fish. Drizzle 2 tablespoons butter over fish, and sprinkle with salt to taste. Wrap fish loosely, place on a baking sheet and bake 35 minutes.
Place a small skillet over medium heat. When pan is hot, add almonds, and stir until golden brown. Remove from pan, and set aside. In a small bowl, combine remaining melted butter and lemon juice; set aside.
When fish is cooked, carefully peel skin from side facing you. With a knife, divide fish in three portions by making two long cuts parallel to each other and perpendicular to the backbone. Cut down to the rib bones, but do not cut through them. Remove a portion of meat by sliding a spatula over rib bones and pulling meat away; repeat with 2 remaining portions, and place on three warmed plates. Remove backbone and attached rib bones. Cut three more fillets from remaining fish, placing them on plates.
Drizzle lemon butter over each fillet, and sprinkle with toasted almonds. Pull leaves from remaining sprigs of thyme, and scatter over fillets. Serve immediately.
