44g
1.50 tbsp honey
30g
1/4 cup bread crumbs
27g
1/4 cup pecans
27g
4 salmon fillets
1580g
1 tsp salt
6g
1 tsp black pepper
2.10g
4 tsp fresh parsley
5g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare the Honey-Mustard Mixture:
- In a small saucepan, melt the coconut oil over low heat.
- Stir in the mustard and honey until fully combined.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and let it cool slightly.
3. Prepare the Pecan-Bread Crumb Coating:
- In a medium bowl, mix together the bread crumbs and finely chopped pecans.

4. Season the Salmon:
- Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels.
- Season both sides of the salmon fillets evenly with salt and black pepper.

5. Coat the Salmon:
- Brush the top of each salmon fillet generously with the honey-mustard mixture.
- Press the pecan-bread crumb mixture onto the honey-mustard coated top of each salmon fillet. Ensure the coating adheres well.
6. Bake the Salmon:
- Place the salmon fillets on a lightly greased or parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and the topping is golden brown.
7. Garnish and Serve:
- Remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes.
- Garnish with the chopped fresh parsley.
- Serve the salmon fillets hot, alongside your favorite vegetables or side dishes.

Tips:

- To get an even crispier crust, you can toast the bread crumbs and pecans in a skillet over medium heat for a few minutes before using them to coat the salmon.

- If you prefer a stronger mustard flavor, you can add a tablespoon of Dijon or spicy brown mustard to the mixture.

- Make sure to pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel before applying the honey-mustard mixture and the pecan crust to ensure they stick better.

- For a complete meal, serve the salmon alongside a fresh green salad or steamed vegetables.

- If you don’t have fresh parsley, you can substitute with dried parsley or even fresh dill for a different flavor profile.

This Honey-Mustard Pecan-Crusted Salmon is a beautiful combination of flavors and textures that is sure to become a favorite in your household. With its crispy pecan crust and zesty honey-mustard topping, it's a winning dish that is both healthy and delicious.
