SALMON WITH THYME, LEMON BUTTER AND ALMONDS
Even seasoned cooks can be anxious about cooking fish, but nothing could be simpler than oiling a large piece of foil, setting the fish on it and then pressing a few scallions and some thyme into the cavity. Wrap it all into a tightly sealed parcel, put it on a baking sheet and roast it. In truth, any fish can be cooked like this, and you can play around with the herbs, depending on what is available. This is a very good-natured recipe.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 400 degrees. Lay out a double layer of foil big enough to wrap fish in, and drizzle with oil. Place fish on foil. Put scallions and half the thyme in cavity of fish. Drizzle 2 tablespoons butter over fish, and sprinkle with salt to taste. Wrap fish loosely, place on a baking sheet and bake 35 minutes.
- Place a small skillet over medium heat. When pan is hot, add almonds, and stir until golden brown. Remove from pan, and set aside. In a small bowl, combine remaining melted butter and lemon juice; set aside.
- When fish is cooked, carefully peel skin from side facing you. With a knife, divide fish in three portions by making two long cuts parallel to each other and perpendicular to the backbone. Cut down to the rib bones, but do not cut through them. Remove a portion of meat by sliding a spatula over rib bones and pulling meat away; repeat with 2 remaining portions, and place on three warmed plates. Remove backbone and attached rib bones. Cut three more fillets from remaining fish, placing them on plates.
- Drizzle lemon butter over each fillet, and sprinkle with toasted almonds. Pull leaves from remaining sprigs of thyme, and scatter over fillets. Serve immediately.

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).

- 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.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Arrange salmon on baking sheet and season with salt and pepper. Bake until just cooked through, about 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, boil next 5 ingredients in heavy medium saucepan over high heat until mixture is reduced to generous 1/2 cup, stirring occasionally, about 12 minutes. Strain sauce into heavy small saucepan, pushing hard on solids to release as much liquid as possible. Set saucepan over very low heat and whisk in butter 1 piece at a time. Whisk in lemon juice; season sauce to taste with salt and pepper.
- Transfer salmon to plates. Spoon sauce over and serve.
Tips:
- Choose the right salmon. Look for wild-caught, sustainably sourced salmon fillets that are about 1 inch thick and have the skin on.
- Make sure the salmon is cooked through. The best way to check is to insert a fork into the thickest part of the fish. If it flakes easily, it's done.
- Use fresh herbs. Fresh thyme and lemon zest add a bright, citrusy flavor to the butter sauce.
- Don't overcook the sauce. The sauce should be slightly thickened, but not too thick.
- Serve the salmon immediately. The salmon is best when served hot, with the sauce spooned over the top.
Conclusion:
This almond-crusted salmon with thyme-lemon butter sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that's perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight dinner. The crispy almond crust adds a nice crunch, while the thyme-lemon butter sauce is rich and flavorful. Serve the salmon with roasted vegetables or a simple salad for a complete meal.
