Ingredients (Serves 4)

4 salmon fillets (about 150g each)

3/4 cup (90g) raw almonds

1/4 cup (25g) breadcrumbs

1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

1 egg, beaten

2 tablespoons olive oil

Lemon wedges for serving

Instructions

Prepare the Almond Crust: Secure the cheese shredder hand crank to your countertop with its stable suction base. Attach the 5-blade set and use the food pusher to safely grind the raw almonds into a fine powder. The sharp stainless steel blades ensure even grinding, perfect for a crispy coating. Transfer the ground almonds to a mixing bowl.

Mix the Coating: Add breadcrumbs, chopped parsley, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper to the ground almonds. Stir to combine, creating a flavorful crust mixture.

Prep the Salmon: Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Brush each salmon fillet with the beaten egg to help the crust adhere.

Coat the Salmon: Press each egg-coated fillet into the almond mixture, ensuring an even layer on top. The fine grind from the Geedel grater ensures a uniform crust that sticks well.

Bake: Place the coated salmon on the baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, and bake for 12-15 minutes or until the salmon is cooked through and the crust is golden brown.

Serve and Store: Serve hot with lemon wedges for a zesty kick. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.

Tips and Variations

Nut Swap: Try hazelnuts or walnuts with the 5-blade set for a different flavor.

Spice It Up: Add a pinch of chili powder to the crust for a kick.

Gluten-Free: Use gluten-free breadcrumbs or skip them for a nut-only crust.

Pairing: Serve with a side of roasted veggies or a fresh salad.
