Steps:
- Melt 2 tablespoons butter in heavy large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add leeks; sauté 2 minutes. Reduce heat to low; cover and cook until leeks are very tender, stirring occasionally, about 20 minutes. Increase heat to medium; add lemon juice and stir until liquid evaporates, about 1 minute. Mix in cream. Simmer until slightly reduced, about 2 minutes. Cool slightly. Transfer mixture to blender. Blend until smooth. Strain sauce into same saucepan, pressing on solids to extract as much liquid as possible. Season sauce to taste with salt and pepper. (Sauce can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)
- Mix almonds, parsley, lemon peel, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper on plate. Place flour on another plate. Sprinkle salmon with salt and pepper. Dredge salmon in flour, shaking off excess. Lightly brush 1 side of salmon with beaten egg. Press brushed side of salmon into almond mixture, pressing lightly to adhere. Arrange salmon, nut side up, on baking sheet.
- Melt 1 tablespoon butter with 1 tablespoon oil in each of 2 heavy large skillets over medium heat. Add half of salmon to each skillet, almond-coated side down, and cook until crust is brown, about 5 minutes. Turn salmon over. Sauté until salmon is cooked through and opaque in center, about 5 minutes. Transfer salmon to plates.
- Reheat sauce, stirring over medium heat. Spoon around salmon and serve.
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.
- Increase temperature to medium, add the lemon juice and stir for 1 minute or until the liquid evaporates.
- Stir in the cream and simmer until mixture is slightly reduced, about 2 minutes.
- Let cool slightly, then transfer to a blender or food processor and blend until smooth.
- Pour mixture through a sieve into the same saucepan, pressing on the solids in the sieve; discard solids.
- Season to taste with salt and freshly ground black or tricolor pepper - at this point the sauce can be covered and refrigerated for one day previous to making the remainder of the recipe.
- On one plate combine the almonds, parsley, lemon peel, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/8 tsp pepper; on a second place, place the flour.
- 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.
- Place 3 crusted salmon fillets in each skillet, almond mixture side down, and sauté for about 5 minutes and the crust is brown.
- Turn fillets over and sauté until fish is cooked through and fillets are opaque in the centers, about 5 minutes.
- Transfer fillets to serving platter or plates.
