How to Make Almond Crusted Salmon

1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. In a shallow dish, combine 1/2 cup slivered almonds, 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, zest of 1 lemon, 1/8 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper.
3. In a separate shallow dish, place 1/2 cup all-purpose flour.
4. Season two 6-ounce salmon fillets with salt and pepper.
5. Dredge salmon fillets in flour, shaking off any excess.
6. Lightly beat 1 large egg in a small bowl. Brush one side of each salmon fillet with the beaten egg.
7. Press the egg-washed side of the salmon fillets into the almond mixture, ensuring it adheres evenly.
8. Heat 1-2 tablespoons olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
9. Place salmon fillets in the skillet, almond-crusted side down. Cook for 5 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
10. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
11. Serve immediately with lemon wedges.
