1. 1In a dry 10" saute pan, toast the almond slivers until mostly golden brown; avoid letting them get too dark.
2. 2Remove them, let them cool a little and grind them fine in a spice grinder or mortar and pestle. Reserve for now.
3. 3Line up 3 shallow bowls or deep plates for dipping the salmon.
4. 4A. In the first bowl, spread out the flour.
5. 5B. In the second bowl, combine the egg, mustard and red pepper flakes.
6. 6C. In the third bowl, combine the bread crumbs and ground almonds.
7. 7Put the olive oil in the saute pan over low-medium heat until it is warm enough to spatter water drops.
8. 8Dip both sides of the thickest fillet in the flour until pretty well covered.
9. 9Follow that by dipping both sides in the egg mixture until covered.
10. 10Then lay both sides of the salmon on the nut mixture until it is thoroughly coated.
11. 11Immediately place it in the saute pan over the low-medium heat.
12. 12Repeat for the thinner fillet as quickly as possible.
13. 13Saute the fillets for 4 minutes; turn over and repeat.
14. 14Then if necessary, reserve in a 200°F warming oven on the serving plates until the broccolini is ready.
