How to Make Baklava Salmon Salmon With Honey Butter Walnuts And Mustard

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Line a shallow baking dish with non-stick aluminum foil or spray with cooking spray.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of butter, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, and 1 tablespoon honey. Set aside.
  4. In another bowl, combine 1/2 cup breadcrumbs, 1/2 cup chopped walnuts, and 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley.
  5. Place salmon fillets (about 1 pound) in the prepared baking dish. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Brush the salmon fillets generously with the honey-mustard mixture.
  7. Sprinkle the walnut crumble evenly over the salmon fillets. Press any remaining crumble into the sides of the fillets.
