Granola is primarily made up of rolled oats, nuts, honey or other sweeteners. Granola has a number of health benefits like lowering cholesterol, regulate digestion, and aid in weight loss. However, most granola products are full of low quality sugar, and add other ingredients with high unsaturated fats and are high in calories.
What’s special about our granola? At Naturalvert, our granola products are handmade with a mixture of pure organic ingredients that you can read and are sourced from certified organic and trusted suppliers like us. Also, we make everything fresh for our customers to ensure the highest quality in all of our products.
Granola offers its users endless possibilities. What’s great is you don’t have to be chefs like us to get creative with it. Aside from being eaten as a snack, Naturalvert granola can also be used as a topping on desserts and even as an ingredient in many different dishes. If you’re in need of some inspiration, some of those recipes like salmon dishes, pancakes, blueberry muffins, and yes of course acai bowls can be found here.

Crusted Salmon with Naturalvert granola
Ingrediensts:
2/3 cup Naturalvert passion fruit mango granola
2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons good olive oil
Four 6- to 8-ounce salmon fillets, skin on
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
Lemon wedges
Instructions:
1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
2. Take 2/3 cup of granola and crush it in a bowl into crumbs.
3. In a small bowl, mix together the granola, parsley, lemon zest, ½ teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon pepper. Drizzle with the olive oil and stir until the crumbs are evenly coated. Set aside.
4. Place the salmon fillets, skin side down, on a board, sprinkle salt and pepper. Press the panko mixture thickly on top of the mustard on each salmon fillet. The mustard will help the panko adhere.
5. Heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat in a 12-inch cast-iron skillet or large heavy, ovenproof pan. When the oil is very hot, add the salmon fillets, skin side down, and sear for 3-5 minutes, without turning, to brown the skin.
6. Transfer the pan to the hot oven for 5 to 7 minutes until the salmon is almost cooked and the panko is browned. Remove from the oven, cover with aluminum foil, and allow resting for 5 to 10 minutes. Serve the salmon hot or at room temperature with lemon wedges.
