I really wanted to try something new with the salmon I had bought at the store. My husband and I have a grilled salmon recipe we LOVE, but that is more of a summertime dish, so I decided to come up with a new recipe and here it is:
Honey-Dijon Pecan Crusted Salmon
Ingredients:
4 medium-sized fresh salmon fillets
1/4 cup honey
1/3 cup Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons water
1 cup pecan pieces
2 tablespoons butter, melted
1/3 cup parmesan cheese
Salt and Pepper, to taste
Directions:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Mix honey, dijon, and water together in a small bowl. Add more water if necessary - you want it to look like a honey-mustard dipping sauce that you might get in a restaurant.
Mix pecans, butter, and parmesan together in a seperate bowl.
Lay salmon fillets on a cookie sheet. Brush salmon fillets with honey-dijon mixture and sprinkle with a little salt and pepper.
Top each salmon fillet with pecan mixture. Divide the mixture evenly among the four fillets.
Place salmon in a preheated oven for 15 minutes. Salmon is perfectly cooked when it flakes easily with a fork.
Serve salmon with rice or potatoes, green salad and/or a steamed green vegetable - YUM!
Cottage Mama's Note: The topping for the salmon would be delicious on many varieties of fish including tilapia or halibut.
