Yield Makes 6 servings
Number Of Ingredients 13
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.
Tips:
- Choose the right salmon: Look for a fresh, firm fillet with no signs of discoloration or bruising.
- Make sure the almond crust sticks: Pat the salmon dry before coating it in the almond mixture. This will help the crust adhere better.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When searing the salmon, make sure there is enough space between each fillet so that they can cook evenly.
- Cook the salmon until it is just cooked through: The salmon should be cooked until it is opaque in the center and flakes easily with a fork.
- Serve the salmon immediately: Almond-crusted salmon is best served hot out of the pan. Enjoy it with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.
Conclusion:
Almond-crusted salmon is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight meal. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With its crispy almond crust and tender, flaky interior, this salmon dish is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
