This easy almond crusted salmon recipe is a fun change up.

 

The crushed almonds paired with honey mustard makes a perfect crust and adds so much texture to baked salmon. Living in Alaska, it’s important to have a variety of healthy salmon recipes (depending on if you are a good fisherman or fisherwoman).

Packed with heart healthy fats and nutrients this recipe is a weeknight dinner winner. Most people are not meeting the American Heart Association recommendation of eating fish 2-3 times a week which is why I think you should give this recipe a try.

This easy almond crusted salmon recipe gets bonus points because it looks way fancier than it actually is. The almond crust is made up of ingredients you probably already have on hand and only takes a few minutes to prepare.
