Ingredients

  • 2 1/4 lbs salmon cut into 4 to 6 fillets
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 Tbsp water
  • 1 Tbsp stone ground mustard or mustard of choice
  • 1 1/2 cups almond flour
  • 1 1/2 tsp sea salt

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Whisk together the egg, water, and stone ground mustard in a bowl until well-combined.
  • In a mixing bowl, stir together the almond flour, sea salt, dried oregano, and thyme until well-combined.
