  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large clove garlic, chopped
  • ½ teaspoon Celtic sea salt
  • 3 tablespoons grass fed butter, ghee or olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill, finely chopped
  • dash of  black pepper
  • 1 1/41 1/2 pounds wild salmon fillets, skin removed
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons almond flour

Instructions

  1. Preheat broiler on high or oven to 450 degrees.
  2. Gate the garlic on a microplane or chop garlic and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt and mash with the side of a chef’s knife until you have a puree.
  3. Melt butter or ghee in a small sauté pan. Remove from the heat. If using olive oil skip this step
  4. Add garlic, lemon juice, parsley, dill, and pepper to the melted butter or olive oil. Mix to combine.
  5. Place the salmon fillet on broiling pan or parchment-lined baking sheet.
  6. Using a spoon, spread the lemon-herb mixture evenly over the top of the fillet.
  7. Sprinkle with the almond flour.
  8. Broil on the middle rack for 8-10 minutes, or until salmon is almost cooked through for medium rare. It should still be a little pink in the middle, as it will continue to cook once removed from the oven. If you like salmon more well-done leave it to cook a few more minutes but turn the temperature down to 400 degrees so the top doesn’t burn. This method gives you a nice crunchy, caramelized crust.
  9. Alternately the fish can be baked in a 400-degree oven on the top rack for 10-12 minutes, or until cooked through.
