Salmon with Almonds and Cheese


Following on with the salmon theme, here's one I make quite regularly - and in fact made tonight (Left: Ben devouring it)!

4 x 175g salmon fillets
50g softened butter
4 tbsp slivered or flaked almonds
4 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
50g guyere or emmental, coarsely grated (any mild cheese really)
potatoes and a green salad or broccoli, to serve
  1. Preheat oven to 190 deg C/Gas 5/fan oven 170 deg c. Season the salmon steaks all over. Liberally butter a shallow ovenproof dish big enough to take the fish in one layer. Smear the fillets with the remaining butter.
  2. Mix the almonds, parsley and the cheese, then press on to the top of the steaks.
  3. Bake for 15-20mins, until the topping is crisp and golden and the salmon cooked. Serve with potatoes and a green salad or broccoli.
Enjoy!

That sounds really yummy. We have salmon once a week so I'll try that one next week!

Two thumbs up Michelle!
Cath made the salmon for dinner and the three of us had the left-overs for lunch the next day and it was great :)
