Amaretto Salmon

Beautiful baked salmon with an amaretto butter sauce. My husband's most requested dish.

• Ready In: 30 mins
• Serves: 2-4

Ingredients

• 1  lb salmon (can be whole piece or filets)
• 2  tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 1⁄2 cup  Italian seasoned breadcrumbs
•  salt and pepper
• 1⁄4 cup unsalted butter
• 1  fluid ounce Amaretto

Directions

1. Wash salmon and pat dry.
2. Place skin side down on foil lined baking sheet.
3. Season with salt and pepper, cover with a thin layer of dijon mustard.
4. Sprinkle bread crumbers over salmon.
5. Bake at 350 for 15-20 minutes depending upon thickness of salmon.
6. When it is almost done, turn oven to broil, move salmon up and broil for 5 minutes or until breadcrumbs are golden brown.
7. Remove from oven. Salmon should easily release from skin. Place on plates.
8. While salmon is broiling, melt butter in a small saucepan.
9. Add amaretto.
10. Cook for one minute.
11. Pour over salmon.
12. I usually serve this with herb buttered noodles but it would also be really good with a nice rice pilaf.
