Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, combine the almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, chopped dill, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create the herb crust mixture.
Step 3
Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and place them skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 4
Brush the tops of the salmon fillets with the olive oil to create a thin, even coating.
Step 5
Evenly distribute the herb crust mixture over the tops of the salmon fillets, pressing gently to adhere the mixture to the fish.
Step 6
Roast the salmon in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) and the top is lightly golden.
Step 7
Remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
Step 8
Serve each salmon fillet with a wedge of lemon, allowing guests to squeeze fresh juice over the fish just before eating for added brightness and flavor.
