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.
