Cocoa-Almond Crusted Salmon
Directions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside. Rinse salmon; pat dry with paper towels. In a small bowl combine lime juice and rum. Brush salmon lightly with lime mixture. Let stand at room temperature for 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in another small bowl stir together almonds, cocoa powder, salt, coriander, and pepper; set aside.
- Brush salmon generously with oil. In a large nonstick skillet cook salmon, flesh sides down, over medium-high heat for 1 to 2 minutes or until light brown. Carefully transfer salmon, flesh sides up, to the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 10 minutes. Remove salmon from oven. Top salmon with almond mixture, pressing firmly to adhere. Bake about 1 minute more or until salmon flakes easily when tested with a fork. Serve immediately with lime wedges.
