This EASY Almond Crusted Salmon is the perfect healthy, easy and delicious dinner made in only 25 minutes! Also paleo and whole 30 approved!
This is the time of year where I want salmon ALL THE TIME! I think it’s because I spend all my weekends at the beach where I can get fresh seafood that’s the best of da best. The beauty of making salmon is that you only need a few ingredients and about 30 minutes.
While looking on pinterest for recipe inspiration (my tactic when I’m lacking in creativity), I kept on seeing salmon recipes that used mayo as a marinade. Now, I was never about the mayo, but I’m all about GoAvo.
GoAvo is a mayo-like spread thats 85% avocado and a few other ingredients (grapeseed oil, white wine vinegar and lemon juice). It’s the perfect replacement for mayo in everything. Oh, and did I mention that it contains the same healthy mono and poly unsaturated fats of avocado with only being 25 calories per tablespoon?
There are three creamy, great tasting flavors of GoAvo: Original, Basil and Chipotle!
This salmon recipe is seriously the easiest dinner that you could possibly make! All you need to do is mix the GoAvo with lime juice, salt and pepper, spread it on the salmon, pat on the cilantro and almond meal, top with lime slices and pop it in the oven for 25 (ish) minutes.
It kinda tastes like the salmon is covered in guacamole, not complaining here!
