Equipment

  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Small mixing bowl
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Pastry brush
  • Paper towels

Ingredients

  • 4 pieces Salmon fillets (6 ounces each or 170 grams each)
  • ½ cup Almond flour (56 grams)
  • ¼ cup Fresh parsley finely chopped (15 grams)
  • 2 tbsp Fresh dill finely chopped (6 grams)
  • 1 tbsp Fresh thyme leaves (3.75 grams)
  • 1 tsp Garlic powder (3.1 grams)
  • ½ tsp Paprika (1.3 grams)
  • Lemon zest from 1 lemon
  • 2 tbsp Olive oil (30 milliliters)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a small bowl, mix together the almond flour, chopped parsley, dill, thyme leaves, garlic powder, paprika, and lemon zest. Blend these ingredients thoroughly to create the herb crust mixture.
  • Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels, then season both sides with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Brush the top side of each salmon fillet with olive oil, ensuring it's fully covered.
  • Press the herb crust mixture onto the oiled side of each fillet, making sure it adheres well and forms a nice, even layer.
  • Place the crusted salmon fillets herb-side up on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and the crust is golden and fragrant.
  • Once done, allow the salmon to rest for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

For a dairy-free option, ensure that the almond flour you use is not processed in a facility that also processes dairy products.
The internal temperature of the salmon should reach 145°F (63°C) when it's done. Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness.
Serve with a side of steamed vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete keto-friendly meal.
