Soak the salmon in milk for at least 30 minutes to remove any fishy odor or taste.

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.

In a bowl, combine paprika, brown sugar Swerve, garlic, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, shallots, cayenne, salt and pepper. Then, mix the parsley, sliced almonds, butter, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon of black pepper in a separate bowl.

Rub the salmon with olive oil; then, sprinkle with salt and pepper.

Press the brown sugar mixture into the salmon on the top. Then, sprinkle the almond mixture over the top of the sugar mixture. Place fresh lemon slices over the top.
