How to Make Almond Crusted Salmon With Capers And Lemon

1. Preheat oven to 200°F (93°C).
2. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a heavy skillet over medium heat.
3. Place 1 cup slivered almonds in a shallow baking dish.
4. In a medium bowl, beat 2 large eggs until blended.
5. Dip each salmon fillet (about 6 oz each) into the eggs, ensuring it's fully coated. Then, press the fillet into the almonds, pressing firmly to adhere.
6. Place the almond-crusted salmon in the skillet and cook for approximately 2-3 minutes per side, or until the fish is opaque in the center and the crust is golden brown.
7. Transfer the salmon to a baking sheet and keep warm in the preheated oven.
8. Add 1 tablespoon lemon juice and 2 tablespoons capers to the skillet.
9. Increase the heat to medium-high.
10. Boil the lemon-caper mixture until slightly reduced, about 1 minute.
11. Remove from heat and stir in 1 tablespoon butter, whisking until melted and smooth.
12. Transfer each salmon fillet to a plate.
13. Spoon the lemon-caper sauce generously over the salmon.
14. Garnish with a lemon wedge and fresh parsley.
