HERB BASTED SALMON

May 06, 2013

Fresh parsley, basil, butter, olive oil, lemon zest and finely diced, toasted almonds were combined into a simple paste that was spread over the salmon before baking. The salmon was melt-in-your-mouth tender with wonderfully fresh flavors that complemented the salmon so perfectly. Not only is this recipe delicious, but it’s also very easy to prepare. Whether you are serving it for a family meal or a dinner party, your dinner guests will love it!

1 ounce raw (unroasted) almonds
2 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
2 tablespoon chopped fresh basil
2 tablespoons melted unsalted butter
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon lemon zest

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Lay almonds on a sheet pan and roast for 10-15 minutes until toasted. Cool and pulse in a food processor until finely chopped but not ground. Raise oven temperature to 450...
