For extra flavor, try adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the glaze for a subtle kick. Toasting the pecans before chopping them really brings out their nutty flavor. If you don't have fresh bread crumbs, you can use panko bread crumbs for a crispier crust. A squeeze of fresh lemon juice over the baked salmon just before serving brightens the flavors.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat your oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). (5 minutes)
02
StepIn a small bowl, combine the bread crumbs, toasted pecans, and fresh parsley. Ensure the pecans are evenly distributed. (2 minutes)
03
StepIn a separate bowl, whisk together the olive oil, soy sauce, brown sugar, lemon pepper, thyme, basil, and garlic powder until the brown sugar is fully dissolved and the glaze is smooth. (3 minutes)
04
StepPlace the salmon fillets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper for easy cleanup. Generously brush each fillet with the brown sugar glaze, ensuring an even coating. Then, evenly distribute the bread crumb mixture over the top of each fillet, pressing gently to adhere. (5 minutes)
05
StepBake in the preheated oven until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. This typically takes 10-15 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillets. Watch carefully to avoid overcooking. (10-15 minutes)
