Ingredients:
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Pat the salmon fillet dry using paper towels. This will help the crust adhere better. Season both sides of the salmon with salt and black pepper.
In a shallow dish, beat the egg white until it's frothy. Place the finely chopped macadamia nuts on a separate plate.
Dip the seasoned salmon fillet into the egg white, ensuring it is completely coated. Then press the salmon into the chopped macadamia nuts, gently pressing to adhere. Ensure both sides are well-crusted.
In a large oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the butter and let it melt. Place the macadamia-crusted salmon in the skillet and sear for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
While the salmon is baking, mix the chopped fresh parsley with lemon juice in a small bowl.
Once the salmon is done, remove it from the oven and let it rest for a couple of minutes. Transfer the salmon to a serving plate and garnish with the parsley-lemon mixture.
Serve the macadamia-crusted salmon immediately, pairing it with your favorite side dishes. Enjoy your delicious meal!
Tips:
- Ensure the salmon fillets are of even thickness to allow for even cooking.
- For a finer crust, pulse the macadamias in a food processor until they are finely chopped.
- Pat the salmon dry before seasoning to help the crust adhere better.
- Watch the salmon closely while it's cooking to avoid over-baking, which can dry out the fish.
- Consider garnishing with additional fresh parsley and lemon wedges for a burst of freshness.
This easy macadamia-crusted salmon is a simple yet impressive dish that brings together the nutty crunch of macadamias and the tender, flaky salmon. With minimal ingredients and straightforward steps, it's a perfect recipe to add a touch of elegance to your meal without the hassle. Enjoy this delicious salmon with a side of your favorite vegetables or salad for a complete and satisfying dinner.
