King Salmon with Crispy Lemon & Almond Crumb
Ingredients
SERVES 8-10
Salmon
1 side of Big Glory Bay King Salmon, skin on, boneless (approx. 1.2 kilograms / 2.7 pounds)
1 ½ cups fresh breadcrumbs (about 3-4 slices of bread, whizzed)
1 lemon, finely grated
¼ cup flaked sliced almonds
1 clove garlic, crushed
3 tablespoons olive oil
To serve
1 bunch vine tomatoes
4 shallots, halved
fresh basil leaves
olive oil
sea salt and cracked pepper
Instructions
Pre-heat the oven to 200°C / 400°F fan bake.
Place the salmon skin-side down on a large oven tray lined with baking paper.
Combine the breadcrumbs, lemon zest, flaked almonds, and garlic in a bowl. Drizzle in the olive oil and mix well.
Arrange the crumbs down the centre of the salmon.
Place the tomatoes and shallots around the salmon.
Drizzle vegetables with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
Bake the salmon for 12-15 minutes until just set. The salmon is cooked when it flakes easily at the thickest part. Allow to cool for 5 minutes before transferring to a platter.
Arrange the salmon, vine tomatoes and shallots on a platter and garnish with fresh basil leaves and serve with lemon wedges for squeezing.
