This is one of my all time favorite salmon recipes that I discovered years ago in Nutrition Action Health Letter. It’s easy to make and delicious.Prep time: 10 minutes
Cook time: 15-20 minutes

Ingredients:
1 3 lb. salmon filet
3 cloves garlic
¾ cup walnuts
1 cup fresh cilantro, washed and dried
2 Tbs. olive oil
1 tsp. kosher salt
Pepper to taste

Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
2. Place the garlic in a food processor and mince.
3. Add the walnuts and process until fine.
4. Add the cilantro and process until the mixture turns into a thick, green paste.
5. Continue to process while slowly drizzling in the olive oil.
6. Place the salmon on a cookie sheet covered with foil. Salt and pepper the fish and spread the paste evenly over it.
7. Place the sheet in the oven and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, until the fish flakes easily with a fork.

Serves 6.
