Almond Parmesan Crusted Salmon + Pomegranate Salad

Serves: 2

Time: 25 minutes

Ingredients: 

Salmon: 

  • 8 - 12 oz wild-caught salmon (or enough for 2 people), cut in half
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 cup finely grated parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup almonds finely ground in a blender (or 1/2 cup almond flour)
  • 3 Tbsp olive oil, avocado oil, or coconut oil
  • Sea salt, pepper, garlic powder to taste

Salad Base: 

  • 3 cups spinach and/or kale
  • 1 cup of pomegranate seeds (or 1 small container)
  • 1/2 cup slivered almonds
  • 1/4 cup pumpkin seeds
  • 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup blueberries
  • 1 ripe avocado, sliced
  • Optional topping: finely grated Parmesan cheese

Salad Dressing: 

  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 1 Tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 Tbsp raw local honey
  • 2 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • Sea salt and pepper to taste

Directions: 

In a bowl, mix together the Parmesan cheese, almonds, and seasoning. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg. In a frying pan, melt the oil using medium-low heat. Dip the salmon pieces in egg and then cover it with the dry mixture. Place it in the oil and cook for approximately 4-5 minutes on each side, depending on the thickness of your salmon. Just be sure it is cooked through. Put all dressing ingredients in a small bowl and whisk until well combined. Pour over the base of the salad before adding your salmon pieces on top.
