How This Nourishes Your Body
Basil Almond Crusted Salmon
Fresh Herbs + Fresh Fish = Kitchen Smell of Heaven. That is what this almond crusted salmon will bring you!
We eat a lot of salmon in our house- the basic honey glazed is tasty, but I was getting bored. This dish is a delightful combination of savory herbs with a nutty crunch. Love it. Not only is this delicious, the salmon+basil combination makes it pretty darn nourishing. Wild caught salmon is such a brain boosting, hormone balancing food.
