Hazelnuts, walnuts or sunflower seeds may be used in place of almonds in this delicious, heart-healthy recipe.
Ingredients:

- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 4 cups mixed organic baby greens (arugula/rocket, mesclun,spinach, etc.)

- Grind the almonds in a coffee grinder or food processor—do not overgrind and turn them into a paste.

- Dry the salmon; dredge salmon on both sides in the almond mixture.
- Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add the salmon and cook about 5 minutes on each side, making sure that the salmon is cooked through.
- Arrange 1 cup of greens—such as spinach, or a mix of greens such as baby lettuce, arugula/rocket, turnip or mustard greens, herbs,endive, and escarole—on each of 2 plates.
- Transfer the hot salmon fillets to plates.
- Garnish with lemon wedges and serve immediately.
What are your favorite ways to prepare salmon?
Will make this tonight!
I love making salmon “en pampillote.” This involves cooking the salmon and herbs and veggies in a parchment package in the oven. You can add all sorts of greens, spring onions, colorful strips of veggies…it makes a great presentation at the table, keeping the fish hot until the moment it’s ready to eat.
