Ingredients:
Instructions:

4. Season the Salmon:
- Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels.

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.
- 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.
- 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.
