Delicious Hazelnut-Crusted Salmon with Lemon Dill Sauce

Hello, foodies! Today, I’m excited to share a new recipe that’s perfect for a cozy night in or a special dinner with loved ones. This Hazelnut-Crusted Salmon with Lemon Dill Sauce is a dish that always brings a smile to my face with its crispy exterior and tender, flaky fish. Let’s get cooking!

Ingredients:

• 2 salmon fillets (150g each)
• 50g crushed hazelnuts
• 50g bread crumbs
• 1 lemon, zested
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 100g Greek yogurt
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• Salt and pepper to taste

Kitchen Tools:

• baking sheet
• food processor
• mixing bowl
• skillet

To start, preheat your oven to 180°C and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a food processor, pulse together the crushed hazelnuts, bread crumbs, lemon zest, and a pinch of salt until combined. Brush the top of the salmon fillets with olive oil and press the hazelnut mixture onto the fish, coating evenly.

Next, heat a skillet over medium heat and add a dash of olive oil. Sear the salmon fillets, nut-side down, for 2-3 minutes until golden and crispy. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for an additional 10-12 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

While the salmon is baking, mix together the chopped dill, minced garlic, Greek yogurt, and a squeeze of lemon juice in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve the hazelnut-crusted salmon hot, drizzled with the lemon dill sauce on top.

This Hazelnut-Crusted Salmon with Lemon Dill Sauce weighs approximately 350g in total and serves 2 people. Each serving is around 175g and has an estimated calorie count of 300. A unique tip for this recipe is to toast the hazelnuts before crushing them for an extra depth of flavor.
