Cashew Crusted Salmon

May 18, 2011 by Julie 59 Comments

Guess what tonight is?

Game night!

The Chicago Bulls are playing the Miami Heat in the Eastern Conference Finals and Ryan, his cousin Daniel and Sadie are suited up to cheer on the Bulls.

When Ryan and I first started dating in college, he was living with Daniel and I quickly learned that these two were big Bulls fans. As a former Chicago girl myself, I fit right into the mix and followed the games with Ryan and Daniel when the team was terrible. And when I say I “followed” the games, I mean that they had two side-by-side televisions in their apartment and would put The Real World on one for me to watch while they watched the games on the other one. That counts, right?

Well, now the Bulls are killin’ it and Ryan and Daniel are ecstatic. Cross your fingers for a win tonight!

Dinner

Before the big game tonight, we enjoyed an easy dinner of cashew-crusted salmon with corn on the cob.

I couldn’t stop eating the package of raw cashews we had in our apartment, so I knew I had to use them up before I devoured all of them in one day. I remember once loving a cashew-crusted mahi mahi dish and figured I could revamp the idea a bit and apply it to salmon.

  • 3/4 lb. salmon filet
  • 1/3 c. raw cashews
  • 1/3 c. parmesan cheese
  • 1 tsp. basil
  • 3/4 tbsp. olive oil

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
  • Combine cashews, parmesan cheese, basil and olive oil in a food processor and pulse until mixture is fine.
  • Top a cookie sheet with foil and place salmon on top of the foil.
  • Top salmon with cashew crumbs and place another sheet of foil over the salmon, sealing the fish within the foil.
  • Bake for 12 minutes before removing foil and baking for another 3 – 5 minutes, until topping is slightly brown and fish is fully cooked.

This salmon was awesome! To quote Ryan, “This is right up there with the jelly salmon!”

Gotta go watch the game! Every time the two boys yell and cheer aloud it sends Sadie into a tailspin of excitement and I want in.

Enjoy your night!

    If you have an idea already of what brand and model to purchase online,
    then checking this product out through reviews is still useful.

    It is extremely important to choose the right piece of equipment for your business, whatever tool it is you need or whatever the
    customer’s demands are, it’s a choice that needs to be done with care.
    Once you get back on the road, or home again, it would be
    a good idea to have a competent service station take a look at the tire that went flat.
    Another household item that uses a filter is
    the vacuum cleaner.

    The company who started this campaign eventually became the world’s largest soap company. Pizza delivery used to be strictly a phone transaction, but now the internet has brought ordering pizza to a new level. Enjoying success with continuous refinement of the business strategy.
