Baked Wild Salmon


This is a great dish to make when you have company and are too busy/tired to cook. It's effortless yet at the end you have a gourmet meal. The trick to making delicious wild salmon is to marinate it overnight or at least for several hours.

Ingredients:
Wild Alaskan Salmon Fillets (found in Costco's freezer section)

Marinade:
2 TBs fresh grated ginger
1-2 TBs freshly grated garlic
salt and pepper to taste
red pepper flakes
Juice of 1 lemon
2 TBs honey
1 TBs soy sauce

Crust:
1/2 cup almond flour or finely chopped pecans
1/4 parmesan cheese
1 TBs parsley flakes

-Wash and dry thawed salmon fillets.
-Combine marinate ingredients then place in glass container with salmon fillets and coat generously.
-Place in fridge for several hours or over night.
-Preheat oven to 425
-When read to cook, take salmon fillets and dip top side (without skin) into crust batter then place in baking dish.
-Bake in middle rack for 15 minutes or until salmon is cooked. Do not overcook! you'll end up with dry salmon.
-Serve with salad, or steamed asparagus and maybe some oven roasted or mashed potatoes. Enjoy! :)
