HAZELNUT CRUSTED SALMON
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Cut salmon filet into 4 equal-sized pieces. Place in baking sheet coated with cooking spray. Spread mayonnaise on filets (about 2 tablespoons on each). Top with chopped hazelnuts; sprinkle each filet with tarragon, orange peel, salt, and pepper. Bake in preheated oven approximately 15 minutes or until fish flakes easily with fork (time varies with thickness of filet).
Tips:
- Choose the right salmon fillet. Look for a fillet that is about 1 inch thick and has a mild, flaky texture.
- Make sure the salmon is cooked through. The best way to do this is to use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature has reached 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Don't overcook the salmon. Overcooked salmon will be dry and tough.
- Use a good quality hazelnut crust. The crust should be made with finely ground hazelnuts, bread crumbs, and herbs.
- Press the crust firmly onto the salmon. This will help to ensure that the crust stays on during cooking.
- Bake the salmon in a preheated oven. This will help to create a crispy crust.
- Serve the salmon immediately. Hazelnut-crusted salmon is best served hot out of the oven.
Conclusion:
Hazelnut-crusted salmon is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. With a little planning, you can create a stunning meal that will impress your guests.
