Description

Get mouth watering pecan crusted salmon on the table in 20 minutes and enjoy the nutty texture on a rich coating of maple syrup, balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard and parsley.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3/4 pound salmon fillets, with or without skin
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt and black pepper
  • 1/2 cup pecans, finely chopped
  • 1 1/2 tablespoon butter
  • 2 tablespoon Maple Syrup
  • 1 tablespoon Balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 garlic clove minced
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

  1. Preheat: PREHEAT OVEN to 425F/218C. Line a small rimmed sheet pan with parchment paper or foil sprayed with cooking spray.
  2. Make Sauce and Prepare Salmon: Season salmon with salt and pepper. Place all marinade/sauce ingredients in a small bowl or measuring cup. Microwave for 15 seconds until butter is melted. Use half of sauce to coat top and sides of salmon. Reserve remaining sauce for drizzling.
  3. Top with Pecans: Place chopped pecans on shallow dish and dip sides and top of the salmon in pecan mixture to adhere. Or sprinkle top and sides of salmon with pecans, pressing lightly to adhere.
  4. Bake and Serve: Place salmon pieces, skin side down, on prepared baking sheet. Bake, with pecan topping side up, for 10-12 minutes depending on thickness of salmon (bake 10 minutes per inch of thickness) until fish flakes but is still warm pink in the thickest part of salmon. Drizzle with remaining sauce and serve with lemon wedges if desired.

Notes

Variations: Try this recipe with cod, halibut, trout or sea bass. Swap pecans for almonds, walnuts, pistachios or cashews. Shortcut: Swap in a store-bought balsamic vinaigrette/dressing.
