Almond Crusted Salmon Fillet

My friend Joanne has asked for a good recipe for salmon or for a mild white fish.  I found this recipe from my treasury of old Skidmore College Dining Services recipes. It's among those in a gift note pad that was printed for alumni at Reunion time.  This one little note pad is loaded with really terrific recipes, some of which I've featured on this blog in the past. 

Serve this salmon fillet with your favorite vegetable and rice pilaf for a truly delicious and nutritious dinner.
