Servings 4

Ingredients

  • 4 3 oz wild caught salmon filets
  • 32 gluten free crackers, I used Jilz Gluten Free crackers
  • 4 tbsp slivered almonds
  • 4 tbsp fresh parmesan cheese
  • 2-4 cloves garlic, minced
  • salt and pepper
  • pinch cayenne pepper (optional)
  • 1 juice from 1 lemon

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°.  Line baking sheet with brown parchment (I don't like the bleaching chemicals in the white sheets) 

  2. In a plastic add crackers and crush with a rolling pin.  Add all the other ingredients until lemon juice.  Mix well.

  3. Add lemon juice and mix again.

  4. Lay salmon out skin side down on parchment and pat dry. 

  5. Divide the crust mixture into 4 equal parts and place on top and sides of each piece.  Press closely without mashing the salmon.

  6. Place in oven and cook for 12-15 minutes.  NOTE: Do not broil the salmon the crust will burn.  The crust should be brown and crispy.  Let salmon rest for 2-3 minutes and serve warm.  

Recipe Notes
