If you are going to make the steak salad on Wednesday, toast pine nuts for that dish at the same time. (Can be done up to 5 days ahead)
  2. Salmon - Divide fish up into number of servings you're making. Rinse and dry fish. Lightly salt and pepper.
  3. Crust - Chop parsley. Melt butter in the microwave (~1 minute should do). Mix butter with Dijon, maple syrup, Bragg's, almond meal, and parsley. (Can be done up to 3 days ahead)
