Pecan Crunch Topped Salmon is a super easy and delicious way to eat your fish!
**April 2017: this post has been updated with new photos. The post content has remained the same!
I think the best indicator of a great recipe is when you find yourself making it over and over again. Considering I like trying new things in the kitchen I don't usually repeat many recipes but this is definitely an exception.
Since making it for the first time in January, I have made it 3 more times and can't wait to have it again! What's not to love about a flaky salmon filet spread with creamy honey mustard and topped with a crunchy pecan breadcrumb mixture?
We made this last weekend with grilled asparagus and the Spring Green Risotto recipe I posted last week and altogether it was one fantastic meal. Not only is this a delicious way to prepare salmon, it can be put together in a matter of minutes.
For the asparagus we simply tossed trimmed asparagus spears in a couple tablespoons of olive oil, seasoned it with a Montreal Seasoning, and grilled it for about 10 minutes in a foil packet.
This sounds really good! I'm always looking for quick and easy ways to prepare salmon. I have individually packaged frozen fillets in my freezer that I often turn to for quick meals but I tend to always prepare them the same way (teriyaki style with rice). This recipe sounds delicious and simple. I have some seriously yummy dijon mustard that would be perfect for this. Thanks for sharing the recipe!
Hey! Im so excited I found your blog. I heard about you from Ally at SweetandSavoryFood. I think you live in IC? I do, too! We should get together and chat food sometime!
Amy Kelly - I hope you try this recipe...it's a great change from the normal teriyaki salmon (which I eat all of the time too!)
Kate - I'm glad you found my blog! I used to live in IC when I went to Iowa but sadly I live in Omaha now for grad school 🙁 I miss IC sooo much and go back to visit as much as I can...I will let you know next time I visit and we can have a food bloggers meet up 🙂
My wife really loves your blog recipes and she made the dish. I already love salmon the way it is, but the pecans gave it a sweet kick. Thanks a lot for the advice. Keep up the great work with your articles and please stop by my health blog sometime. The web address is http://healthy-nutrition-facts.blogspot.com/.

Nice, will have to try, normally we just griddle salmon, or put it under the grill (broiler).
This will make an interesting change.
Mmmmm:)
Now..I am probably one of the very few who don't really like salmon, but this one does look really good! I'd be willing to give it a try!
