Salmon Almondine
This is a delicious and beautiful way to serve salmon. Because it is sliced thin, it cooks in just a few minutes. The simple ingredients come together wonderfully for a very flavorful dish. The sour burst from the capers and the crunch from the almonds make it truly unique.
Ingredients
- 3 tbsp butter grass-fed
- 1 tsp avocado oil
- ¼ cup almonds sliced
- 14 oz wild-caught salmon fillet cut into 1/4-inch-wide slices
- ½ juice lemon
- 1 tbsp capers drained
Instructions
- Melt 1 tablespoon butter + 1 teaspoon avocado oil in a nontoxic skillet over medium heat.
- Lightly brown the almonds; set aside.
- Season salmon with salt and pepper.
- Cook 1 at a time. Saute on both sides until done.
- Saute the other salmon fillet.
- Add another 2 tablespoons of grass-fed butter, lemon juice, and capers.
- Put the mixture on a plate and drizzle with any remaining sauce in the pan.
- Sprinkle with the almonds and serve immediately.
Notes
Great served with whole wheat couscous or brown rice for core plan or riced/mashed cauliflower for advanced plan and any kind of vegetables.
