Description
A savory and slightly sweet salmon dish that will knock your socks off!
Ingredients
- ¼ cups Raw (or Lightly Salted) Pumpkin Seeds
- 1 pound Skinned And Deboned Wild Caught Salmon
- ¼ cups Pumpkin Butter
- ½ cups Italian Style Bread Crumbs
- ¼ cups Grapeseed Oil
- Salt And Pepper
Preparation
Chop pumpkin seeds in a food processor until roughly chopped. Liberally salt and pepper each side of the salmon. Spoon the pumpkin butter onto both sides of each piece of salmon. Rub the pumpkin butter into the salmon and make sure each piece is thoroughly coated. Coat each piece with breadcrumbs (see note) and ground pumpkin seeds.
In a large pan, heat grapeseed oil over medium/high heat. Cook salmon for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until thoroughly cooked (see note). Remove from heat and serve.
Notes:
1. Want a crispier crust? Preheat oven to 400 F. Cook salmon on the stove top over high heat for about 1-2 minutes on each side. Place salmon in a greased baking dish, cover with a sheet of foil and bake for 10-15 minutes or until cooked all the way through.
2. Want a more Thanksgiving-like flavor? Add 1 teaspoon thyme, 1/2 teaspoon rosemary and 1/2 teaspoon rubbed sage into your Italian breadcrumbs.
