Macadamia Crusted Salmon with Cream Sauce

You’re going to love this Macadamia Crusted Salmon with Cream Sauce that is gluten and dairy free.

Two things I love most while dining out at fancy restaurants:

1. I always know that when I say gluten free they will go above and beyond to ensure that everything is customized to my needs
2. “Nut-crusted” fish with creamy sauces.

I realized that I could have both in the comfort of my own home.

Once I made it, I wondered why I had never done it before.

In the beginning, I thought I would do a Macadamia Crusted Salmon with cream sauces using half-and-half.

Then I thought of two things:

1. The base of the meal was already super gut friendly with only almond milk, Wild Salmon and fresh Macadamias. Why would I even want to disrupt this process?
2. Macadamias are amazing, but even amazing can have many calories. Using half-and-half (in addition to everything else) was really not necessary.

I’m always aiming to have my cake and eat it, too. (Literally, I love cake .)

With this recipe, you truly can enjoy the best of both worlds: a happy gut with less calories than the typical “creamy” recipes give, all without sacrificing taste.

Ingredients: Macadamia-Honey Cream Sauce

• ¼ cup Silk Pure Almond Unsweetened (Original)
• ½ c. ground Macadamias
• ½ tsp. honey

Ingredients: Roasted-Garlic Macadamia Cream Sauce

• ¼ c. Silk Pure Alm
• ½ c. ground Macadamias
• 1 garlic bulb, roasted

Ingredients: Orange Zest Macadamia Cream Sauce

• ½ c. ground Macadamias
• ¼ cup Silk Pure Almond Unsweetened (Original)
• ½ tsp. Coconut Vanilla Sugar (or sweetener of your choice)
• 1 tbsp. orange zest

Ingredients: Lemon-Cilantro Macadamia Cream Sauce

• ½ c. ground Macadamias
• ¼ cup Silk Pure Almond Unsweetened (Original)
• ½ tbsp. cilantro, chopped
• ¾ tsp. fresh-squeezed lemon juice

Directions

1. Set out your Wild Salmon (or buy fresh behind the counter) to ensure that it is unthawed. Set aside
2. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees
3. Cover an oven-safe pan with tinfoil
4. Prepare the “crust” for the Wild Salmon by placing the ground Macadamias and milk in a bowl
5. Roll each piece of salmon in the mixture and place on the pan
6. Spread the rest of the mixture (by hand) evenly across your 3 pieces of salmon
7. Bake in the oven for 11-3 minutes
8. Meanwhile, prepare your sauce (or sauces) by grinding the Macadamias in a blender
9. Then, place all ingredients for whichever sauce you want to make in a blender and blend very well, until it reaches a liquid consistency
10. Heat the sauce over the stove (or in the microwave)
11. Once your salmon is done, pour the sauce over or eat it just as is

Tip: If you make the “Roasted-Garlic Macadamia Cream Sauce” and need to roast a garlic bulb, simply preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Peel several garlic bulbs and place them on an olive-oil covered pan. Sprinkle with sea salt. Bake for about 10 minutes. Use one of the bulbs for your sauce and save the rest for other meals.

Makes 3 servings (each cream sauce will yield about ¾ c., so one serving is approximately ¼ cup)
