Notes
* I use skinless salmon for this recipe. You can either use leftover cooked salmon or quickly pan-fry a filet with this easy method: Add 1 tablespoon olive oil to skillet or liberally mist skillet with olive oil spray and warm over medium-high heat. Season both sides of salmon filet with salt and pepper, and cook for about 4 minutes per side, depending on preferred doneness.
• Add 50 calories per tablespoon of almonds.
• If you’re following a gluten-free diet, be sure to carefully read the packaging for each ingredient. While these foods are inherently gluten-free, gluten can sometimes be added during processing for a variety of reasons, including for flavor and consistency.
• Similarly, if you're dairy-free, check the ingredient list carefully for any hidden milk products.
