A simple dinner for the whole family, Salmon fillets baked with olive oil, cumin and garlic, and topped with a crust of grated green plantain. The result is a tender, flavorful, and flaky piece of fish. The green plantain crust gives the salmon an incredible texture.
I used salmon this time, but any fish will work. Cod, haddock, trout, or tilapia, would all be fantastic.
Buen provecho!

This is a grand recipe - the salmon is plentiful right now and just delicious. The bonus is - I've never made salmon with plantains so this will be a new adventure.

This looks SO good. I've never used plantain this way, I really want to try it. Plus, I've been craving salmon SO bad lately. It's on my shopping list. Along with plantains now...
