02 Step
Recipe View
In a small bowl, whisk together the Dijon mustard, melted butter, and honey until smooth and emulsified. (2 minutes)
03 Step
Recipe View
In a separate bowl, combine the fresh bread crumbs, toasted pecans, and chopped fresh parsley. Toss gently to combine. (3 minutes)
04 Step
Recipe View
Pat each salmon fillet dry with paper towels and season generously with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. (2 minutes)
05 Step
Recipe View
Place the seasoned salmon fillets on a lightly greased baking sheet, skin-side down if using skin-on fillets. (1 minute)
06 Step
Recipe View
Brush each fillet generously with the mustard-honey mixture, ensuring an even coating. (3 minutes)
07 Step
Recipe View
Spoon the bread crumb-pecan mixture evenly over the top of each fillet, gently pressing to adhere. (4 minutes)
08 Step
Recipe View
Bake for 10-12 minutes per inch of thickness, measured at the thickest part of the fillet, or until the salmon is just cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. (12 minutes)
09 Step
Recipe View
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately with lemon wedges. (1 minute)
For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the bread crumb mixture.
Toasting the pecans before chopping them will bring out their nutty aroma and enhance the overall flavor of the dish.
If you don't have fresh bread crumbs, you can substitute with panko bread crumbs for a crispier crust.
Ensure the salmon is cooked through but not overcooked. Overcooked salmon can be dry and less flavorful. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).
Serve with a side of roasted asparagus or a fresh green salad for a complete and balanced meal.
