Baked Salmon Fillet with Buttered Almonds

Cook Time 15 minutes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 3 tbsp butter
  • 1 cup blanched slivered almonds salt and pepper to taste
  • One 1 ½ to 2 lbs salmon fillet skin on

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees
  • When the oven is hot add the oil to a baking dish large enough to hold the salmon fillet.
  • Heat the baking dish for 5 minutes or so.
  • Meanwhile melt the butter over medium heat in a saucepan, add the almonds, and season with salt.
  • Cook, stirring, until the almonds are brown.
  • Remove the baking dish from the oven and place the salmon in it, skin side down.
  • Season with salt and pepper; spoon the browned almonds on top.
  • Place the dish in the oven and set a timer for 10 minutes.
  • Check for doneness-this dish is best when served rare.
  • Yields four to six servings.
