Instructions

Honey Mustard Marinade

  • Whisk together dijon, butter, and honey until well combined, set aside.

Pecan Crust

  • Combine panko, pecans, dried basil, and garlic powder together in a small bowl. Set aside.

Assembling

  • Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Place the salmon on the baking sheet skin side down. Season with salt.
  • Brush the honey mustard on the top and sides of the salmon. Make sure to use all the marinade!
  • Place in the fridge to marinate for an hour.
  • Remove the salmon from the fridge and preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Evenly coat the top of the salmon in the pecan crust and gently press down to make sure it sticks.
  • Bake for 10 minutes per 1 inch of thickness, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork. My salmon was 1 inch thick, so I baked it for 10 minutes.
  • Serve immediately with lemon as a garnish, if desired!

Notes
