Clean the razor clams: Inspect the shells for cracks and discard any which are damaged or remain open after scrubbing. Fill a large bowl with cold water and add the clams. Using your hands, agitate the water to rinse, then transfer the clams to another bowl or strainer, discarding the water. Repeat until the water runs clear. Make the parsley sauce: In the bowl of a food processor, combine the parsley, garlic, almond flour, and ½ cup of olive oil, and process to a fine paste. Season to taste with salt and set aside. Heat a large skillet over high heat; add the remaining olive oil and the clams in a single layer. Cover with a lid and cook just until the shells have opened and the flesh looks opaque, 1–2 minutes. Using tongs, transfer the cooked clams to a platter. Pour any accumulated cooking juices over them, then drizzle over the reserved parsley sauce. Serve hot.
