The Best Crispy Baked Salmon Fillet Recipe
What’s not to love about a perfectly baked salmon fillet? I love how you can add them over salad, enjoy as is, serve with a side of rice, quinoa or loads of veggies. There are pretty much two types of fish I love to eat that aren’t too fishy. Salmon and white fish like cod. Salmon is my favorite though. This Baked Salmon recipe has such an amazing flavor to it and I bet you will love it as much as I do.
Baked Salmon in a foil
If you would like to prepare this baked salmon recipe and bake it in a foil for easy cleanup you sure can. Just cover the salmon fillets in the foil and bake for the first 12 minutes or so, then uncover it and let it bake for another 5 minutes to get the crispy texture for the crust.
How to cook salmon in a pan
If you prefer to cook your salmon in a pan that’s perfectly fine. Some find this method easier than baking. Add a bit of olive oil on your pan, season your salmon fillets with your favorite seasoning, salt, and pepper. Place the salmon on the pan over medium heat, skin side first. Allow the salmon to cook over medium heat for about 5 minutes on each side. Remove from heat and garnish with some fresh Lemons and enjoy.

I’ve never used almond meal but I still don’t understand how the salmon gets crispy?!

Hi, what can be used to substitute the almond meal? My boyfriend is allergic! Thank you!
