Almond Crusted Salmon Fillets with Roasted Broccolini
We love salmon and like to cook it in many different ways. This time we chose to make an almond crust then saute it. We served it with some lemon. It was very delicious! To serve, we sprinkled some of the toasted almonds over the broccolini and accompanied the dinner with a bottle of a mild red wine blend.

1. In a dry 10" saute pan, toast the almond slivers until mostly golden brown; avoid letting them get too dark. Remove them, let them cool a little and grind them fine in a spice grinder or mortar and pestle. Reserve for now.

4. Dip both sides of the thickest fillet in the flour until pretty well covered. Follow that by dipping both sides in the egg mixture until covered. Then lay both sides of the salmon on the nut mixture until it is thoroughly coated. Immediately place it in the saute pan over the low-medium heat.
