How to Make Almond Chive Salmon

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a food processor, combine 1/2 cup slivered almonds, 1/4 cup chopped fresh chives, 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese, 1 tablespoon olive oil, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  3. Process until finely chopped, scraping down the sides as needed.
  4. Season two 6-ounce salmon fillets with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  5. Evenly distribute the almond-chive mixture over the top of each salmon fillet.
  6. Gently press the topping to adhere to the salmon.
  7. Lightly coat a baking sheet with cooking spray.
  8. Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet.
  9. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the fillets.
  10. Serve immediately with lemon wedges for a bright and zesty finish.
