Ingredients for this baked oat crusted salmon

Salmon first and foremost. Of course, I’ve gone for Scottish salmon but feel free to use any salmon you like. Check out this salmon information to understand just how amazingly good for you this fish is.

Salmon notes

Leave the skin on the salmon as it holds it together and adds to the flavour, just skim it off when you are serving or leave it there.

What type of oats do you use?

I just use standard porridge oats/rolled oats for this recipe. I always have them in the larder. If you use quick oats you won’t get the same texture to your oat crust as these have been crushed to cook quicker.

Other ingredients;

Some flaked almonds to mix with the oats and add even more crunch and flavour to the bake.

Fresh dill for its lovely anaseed-like flavour that just sings with salmon and lemon for that zingy freshness.

The basics are olive oil, an egg and salt and pepper.

How to make oat crusted salmon

This recipe is simplicity itself. It is just a case of making your crumble topping then baking the salmon in a preheated oven.

  • Set out each salmon fillet on a lined baking tray skin side down and brush each with a little olive oil.
  • To make the oat crust just mix together the almonds, oats, lemon zest, dill and some salt and pepper along with an egg and lay this on top of each salmon fillet.
  • Bake in the oven for about 20 minutes.

How many does this recipe serve?

This recipe serves four people using one salmon fillet per person.

Of course, you can just buy a large piece of salmon then divide up when you are serving.

Using leftover salmon

Any leftover baked salmon is excellent used in a salad the next day for lunch. Or mixed with some homemade mayonnaise and made into a delicious sandwich.

Can you freeze baked salmon?

Yes you can freeze cooked salmon for up to 6 months. Wrap it well and freeze in freezer-proof boxes or bags. Make sure to defrost completely.

    Re: Oat Crusted Baked Salmon… Fresh fish is a regular inclusion in our rotation. In particular, cold water salmon, and steelhead trout cooked and served in pastry or a tasty crumb topping such as this… In fact, I do believe I will bookmark your salmon suggestions to simplify the search process…..Thanks Karon…
