Our 5-Star Salmon Recipe for 2025 - Salmon with a Nut Crust
Remarkable Roasted Salmon with a Nut Crust
Before I tasted a salmon fillet with a Nut Crust, I most often thought the salmon-for-dinner day was boring because no matter how I roasted, baked, sauteed, grilled the salmon, it tasted the same meaning not much flavor. Salmon with a nut crust recipe brings salmon to my table because it tastes so good!
I’m describing Salmon with a crust made from nuts. Nuts add crunch to every bite, and Hazel nuts or walnuts or almonds with a drizzle of honey, Spicy Beer Mustard and fresh lemon juice a fresh, bright flavor. The roasting method is “no-fail.” I tested the recipe with thin fillets and also 1 1/2 inch thick salmon steaks, and each time the salmon was cooked perfectly, the crust toasty and flavor bright with a tang of lemon. Salmon at its best – the result.
Eat well.
