How to make Walnut-Crusted Salmon

Place oven rack in the middle position and preheat oven to 177°C.

In a baking dish, toss the radishes with a drizzle of olive oil and smoked salt.

Place the salmon on top of the radishes, skin down.

Pulse the walnuts in a grinder until finely ground.

In a medium bowl, whisk molasses, anise seed, and salt to create a smooth glaze. Stir in the ground walnuts to form a thick paste.

Spoon the paste over the salmon, distributing it evenly.

Bake uncovered for 15 minutes or until the salmon easily flakes away when tested with a fork.

Place on serving plates and sprinkle with coriander.

Serve right away.
