Crusted salmon with baked potatoes (Salmone in crosta con patate al forno) is a second course of great taste, light and healthy, with all the benefits of salmon. But it can also be a one-dish, with a side dish, easy to make even for those who are not very experienced in the kitchen.
This salmon in crust is characterized by a crispy breadcrumbs, precisely the crust that encloses it. It has a base of breadcrumbs enriched with chopped almonds, orange and lemon peel, parsley and parmesan cheese. We will therefore obtain a perfect balance between the external crunchiness of the crust and the softness of the fresh fish.
For a mouth-watering first course, I suggest Tagliolini with cream of smoked salmon. While, for an appetizer or finger food I recommend the Mini croissants stuffed with salmon or Stuffed smoked salmon rolls.
