Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350ºF (176ºC) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Combine the walnuts, green onion, salt and Italian seasoning. Stir in the lemon juice and half of the oil.

Step 3

Rub the remaining oil over all sides of the salmon fillets and place the salmon on the prepared baking sheet, skin side down. Spoon the walnut mixture on the top side of the fillets and gently press it down with the back of the spoon so the walnut mixture stays in place.

Step 4

Bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily. Divide between plates and serve with lemon wedges, if using. Enjoy!
