Flourless Salmon Crumble

Today I bring you a flourless salmon crumble, it is a main dish based on fish and vegetables, it has wild salmon with zucchini and onion topped with a crunchy layer of almonds and seeds, it sounds good, right?.

Wild salmon provides omega-3 fatty acids, zucchini and onion vitamins and seeds and almonds more fatty acids, vitamins and minerals, it is a winning combination yes or yes.

 

Eat oily fish regularly, it is the best way to incorporate omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids into your diet

 

Let’s start by seeing what a crumble is. Surely most of you have heard of this type of dish, but you associate it with a sweet recipe, a dessert, and a crumble is a cake of Anglo-Saxon origin, it consists of a fruit base with a crunchy layer on top made with flour, butter and sugar.

The structure of this recipe is what inspired me when making the salmon crumble that I propose, my crumble is salty and its main ingredient is wild salmon along with vegetables, for the crunchy layer instead of using common flour, butter and sugar, I have used my flourless seed crackers.

As they are made from almond flour, almonds and seeds, they give it a crunchy touch, but do not add heaviness to the set nor an excess of calories and the combination of flavors is excellent, I assure you.

This flourless salmon crumble works very well as a main course and is a good option for both lunch and dinner, it is very easy to digest and is low in carbohydrates.

A consommé, a fish soup or a cream, such as cauliflower soup, are good options to have as a first course before the crumble and you would already have a complete, light and healthy menu. A good salad would also go very well, as this one.

 

Flourless salmon crumble is a very nutritious main course; it can be preceded by a salad, consommé, or fish soup, and you already have a complete menu.

 

Properties and benefits of salmon for our health:

Salmon is a blue fish rich in Omega 3 fatty acids that help us keep our cardiovascular system and arteries healthy, and it helps lower cholesterol and high blood pressure.

It has a lot of protein and is low in carbohydrates. gr of salmon provides about 200 Kcal and is rich in vitamin A and B vitamins. It is noted for being rich in phosphorus and potassium as well as containing sodium, calcium, magnesium and iron, therefore it is a highly recommended food to include in our diet.

 

 

In this recipe I have used wild Alaskan salmon which has a milder flavor and does not give off as strong an odor as wild salmon farmed fish.

As for the differences between the two, wild salmon contains more Omega 3 fatty acids, whereas farmed salmon, despite also containing Omega 3, contains many more Omega 6 fatty acids, which are not as beneficial for our health.

Our diet should provide us with a similar amount of both polyunsaturated fats (Omega 3 and Omega 6), but what usually happens is that we consume many more Omega 6 fatty acids, which are not as beneficial, which is why we should boost our consumption of Omega 3 through our diet.

Salmon provides us with Omega fatty acids 3 very beneficial for our cardiovascular health.

 

Ingredients you will need to prepare this flourless salmon crumble:

• Wild salmon.
• Zucchini.
• Onion.
• Seed crackers.

Utensils:

• A ring or square mold for plating.

Preparation of the dish:

Preparing the flourless salmon crumble is very simple, you just have to cook the ingredients separately to ensure that they are all just right and then assemble the whole thing at the time of serving.

If you have guests or are simply going to spend the morning out of the house, you can leave the salmon cooked, and the vegetables sautéed, when you arrive you just have to heat it a little and assemble the dish, if you do it as I explain below I assure you that the presentation will be spectacular and very appetizing.

Keep in mind that many times we do not pay attention to how to serve the food and generally doing it in an orderly way following an aesthetic criterion makes a difference, it is not necessary that you do it only when you have guests, do it also in your day to day, for your family and for yourself, the more beautiful the dish is, the more pleasant it will be to eat it, that sure.

Personally, I love serving dishes with grace. Do you know the key to achieving this? The same as for almost everything in life: think before you do. While you’re cooking the recipe, you can start planning the presentation. Depending on the ingredients and their characteristics, there will be some options or others. You just have to find the most appropriate one or try different ways until you find the best one.

 

Flourless salmon crumble is a recipe low in carbohydrates and rich in essential nutrients.

 

To plate this salmon crumble, you’ll only need a flat plate and a stainless steel ring (there are also plastic ones suitable for these purposes). You’ll need to arrange the vegetables and salmon in layers, and on top, the salty almond and seed muesli, which simply consists of crumble the salted seed crackers.

When everything is in place, carefully remove the ring and arrange the ingredients in layers. The whole thing looks much more attractive than placing the salmon with the vegetables on the side and sprinkling the muesli on top.

 

Try to present your dishes in an orderly and pretty way, your recipes will look even better.

 

Finally, all that’s left is to decorate the plate a little. I added a little ground pepper and a few drops of extra virgin olive oil, another option would be to chop chives and sprinkle them on top, it would give it a very interesting fresh point or even decorate it with some flowers, give it your personal touch!.
