Swaps & notes

For a crispy crust, make sure the salmon fillets are patted dry before dredging them in the almond mixture. You can also bake the salmon instead of pan-frying it. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) ,and bake the salmon fillets for 12–15 minutes or until cooked through. Garnish your almond crusted salmon with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice for an extra burst of flavor.
