HAZELNUT CRUSTED SALMON OR TEMPEH
marinated in whiskey & maple syrup
VN, GF

Ingredients

THE MARINADE

1/2 cup maple syrup
1/4 cup whiskey
1/4 cup water
2 tbs oil
1/2 tsp thyme

THE PROTEIN

2 single serving salmon fillets OR
1 block thawed and poached tempeh*

THE CRUST

1 cup coarsely chopped hazelnuts
3 shallots finely chopped

Directions

1. Blend the ingredients of the marinade together. Pour into a shallow baking casserole

2. Add your protein selection.

3. Marinate for 3/4 to 1 hour; spoon marinade over the fish or tempeh several times.

4. Pre-heat oven to 400 F.

5. Reserve a little of the marinade before baking.

6. Blend the ingredients for the crust together.

7. Liberally pile on top of the salmon or tempeh. Pour on reserved marinade.

8. Bake for 1/2 hour or until the salmon is flaky.

9. Serve with steamed veggies and brown and wild rice with cranberries.

Notes

* It is very important to poach the tempeh before using for two reasons:

1. If the tempeh is frozen like pulse foods it is still a live culture and it needs to be poached in salted water or veggie broth to inactivate the culture.

2. Tempeh absorbs a lot of liquid. If you do not poach it first, it will unevenly absorb the marinade and will lack flavour and texture.

"This recipe was created out of a flavour that popped into my head when my mom and sister were visiting. I just knew it would work for both salmon or tempeh and it did."
