Macadamia-Crusted Salmon with Lemon Myrtle & Herbs

An Easy, Elegant Dinner with a Native Twist

When you want to serve something fresh, simple and just a little bit fancy – this is your go-to dish.

Janelle’s macadamia-crusted salmon uses our Lemon Myrtle Macadamias to give this weeknight favourite an Aussie twist. The crust is packed with citrusy lemon rind, herbs, parmesan and buttery crumbs, creating a golden topping that pairs beautifully with the delicate flavour of salmon.
