Ingredients for Alaska Salmon Bake With Pecan Crunch Coating

  • Dijon Mustard
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • Fresh Breadcrumb
  • 1/4 cup chopped pecans

How to Make Alaska Salmon Bake With Pecan Crunch Coating

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the Dijon mustard, melted butter, and honey.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine the panko bread crumbs, chopped pecans, and parsley.
  4. Season both sides of each salmon fillet with salt and pepper.
  5. Place the salmon fillets on a lightly greased baking sheet.
  6. Brush the top of each fillet evenly with the mustard-honey mixture.
  7. Generously sprinkle the pecan bread crumb mixture over the mustard-honey coating.
  8. Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Cooking time will depend on the thickness of your fillets; start checking at 10 minutes for thinner fillets.
  9. Serve immediately, garnished with fresh lemon wedges.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
