ALMOND CRUSTED SALMON WITH LEEK AND LEMON CREAM
We're blessed with an abundance of fresh salmon, here in the Pacific Northwest. Here's a favorite way to prepare them! From "Bon Appétit" magazine, this one is absolutely wonderful. LJ entry of Thursday, April 18th, 2002. Although the directions are long, they are detailed and not difficult to follow. Serve with pilaf and salad (recipe #36428 is especially good with this).

Steps:
- Carefully clean leeks: cut off the stemmy bottoms and the dark green leaves, so you end up with with white and light green parts only (dirt can get in between the leaves, so wash them out well).
- Cut leeks lengthwise in half, then slice thinly.
- In a large heavy saucepan over medium high temperature, melt 2 tablespoons butter and add prepared leeks and stir; sauté for 2 minutes, then reduce the temperature to low, add sherry, stir well, cover, and cook until the leeks are quite tender, stirring occasionally, for about 20 minutes.

- Season the salmon lightly with salt and freshly ground pepper.
- Dredge the salmon in the flour, shaking off the excess.
- With a brush, lightly coat 1 side of the fillet with beaten egg, then press the coated side into the almond mixture on the plate; press lightly so that the mixture adheres to the fillet.
- Repeat crusting step with all fillets.
- Ready 2 heavy skillets on the stovetop over medium temperature; in each melt 1 Tbsp butter and 1 Tbsp olive oil.

Tips:
- Choose the right salmon fillet: Look for a thick, center-cut fillet that is about 1 inch thick. This will ensure that the salmon cooks evenly and stays moist.
- Make sure the salmon is properly defrosted: If the salmon is frozen, thaw it in the refrigerator overnight or under cold water for about 30 minutes.
- Season the salmon well: Use a generous amount of salt and pepper to season the salmon before cooking. You can also add other spices or herbs, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
- Cook the salmon over medium heat: This will help to prevent the salmon from overcooking and becoming dry.
- Use a non-stick skillet: This will help to prevent the salmon from sticking to the pan.
- Flip the salmon only once: Flipping the salmon too often can cause it to break apart.
- Cook the salmon until it is cooked through: The salmon is cooked through when it flakes easily with a fork.
- Serve the salmon immediately: The salmon is best served immediately after it is cooked.
Conclusion:
Almond-crusted salmon is a delicious and healthy meal that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be cooked in just a few minutes. Serve the salmon with your favorite sides, such as rice, vegetables, or salad.
