Baked Salmon with Pecans

This super simple fish is delicious and never fails to impress. We’ve served it at a few Christmas dinners, and I’ve made it for date nights and other special occasions. It goes nicely with mashed potatoes.

To make it gluten free, don’t add the breadcrumbs – it works just as well.

Ingredients

• 3 tbsp Dijon mustard

• 3 tbsp butter, melted

• 5 tsp honey

• 1⁄2 cup fresh bread crumbs

• 1⁄2 cup pecans, finely chopped

• 3 tsp parsley

• 6 (4 oz) fillets salmon

• Salt and pepper, to taste

• Lemon wedges, for garnish

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 400° F (200° C). In a small bowl, mix together the mustard, butter, and honey. In another bowl, mix together the bread crumbs, pecans, and parsley.

2. Season each salmon fillet with salt and pepper. Place on a lightly greased baking sheet. Brush each filet with the mustard-honey mixture. Cover the top of each fillet with the bread crumb mixture.

3. Bake for 10 minutes per inch of thickness, measured at thickest part, or until salmon just flakes when tested with a fork. Serve garnished with lemon wedges.
