Instructions:

For the salmon with Mandes basil crust, first wash the salmon and pat dry, remove any bones if present. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees top heat.

Put the rice on early, add a piece of ginger, it will be removed after cooking. Finely chop stale white bread or mix it up briefly.

Wash and dry the parsley and basil, if necessary select and chop finely. Wash the lemon in hot water, remove some of the zest and squeeze the lemon. Knead the almonds with the butter and the herbs to a firm mass, season with salt and pepper, mix in some lemon zest.

The mass should get a firm consistency, but still be spreadable, if necessary knead in a little water. Prepare a pot with an insert or a suitable whipping bowl, heat the water bath.

Now prepare all the ingredients for the sauce. Whisk the 2 egg yolks with 1 tablespoon lemon juice and the white wine in the whisking bowl, add a little salt and pepper. The water should now be hot to immediately whip the lemon butter foam.

Put the butter aside. Butter 2 ovenproof dishes, place the salmon in them and coat with the almond-basil mixture, pressing firmly. Put the molds in the preheated oven.

Cook the fish for about 5 minutes. Now quickly whisk the sauce in a water bath, it should become a nice creamy mixture. When the fish is cooked for 5 minutes, add 2 more minutes of sauce.

Salmon with almond basil crust is a very quick cooked dish, even if it has some effort in the preparation time.
