A deliciously simple recipe for Baked Dijon Salmon, featuring salmon fillets coated in a flavorful Dijon mustard mixture topped with crunchy pecans.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/4 cup butter, melted
  • 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons honey
  • 1/4 cup dry bread crumbs
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped pecans
  • 4 teaspoons chopped fresh parsley
  • 6 (4 ounce) fillets of salmon
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 lemon, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  2. In a small bowl, stir together the melted butter, Dijon mustard, and honey until well blended. Set aside this mixture for later.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine the bread crumbs, chopped pecans, and parsley.
  4. Arrange the salmon fillets on a lightly greased baking sheet or in a shallow baking dish with their skin side down. Season them with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Using a brush or a spoon, evenly spread the Dijon mustard mixture over each salmon fillet, making sure each is well-coated.
  6. Gently press the bread crumb and pecan mixture over the mustard-coated fillets.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.
  8. Garnish with lemon wedges and serve immediately.

Notes

  • This dish pairs wonderfully with a light, fresh salad or steamed vegetables.
  • For a bit of a spicy kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the mustard mixture.
  • The pecan crumb topping provides a delightful crunch and nutty flavor; walnuts can be a nice substitute if needed.
  • Be sure to choose fresh, high-quality salmon for the best flavor and texture.
  • You can also try different mustard varieties for a unique twist.
