Recipe from Jen Hatmaker’s Feed These People.

Ingredients:

Salmon:

• 2 lb. salmon fillet
• Salt and pepper, to taste

Honey Mustard:

• 2 TBSP honey Dijon mustard
• 2 TBSP honey
• 2 TBSP butter, melted
• Pinch of salt

Pecan Topping:

• 1/4 c. panko bread crumbs
• 1/4 c. fresh parsley, chopped
• 1/2 c. pecans, chopped

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 400F and line baking sheet with foil.
2. In a small bowl, mix the honey mustard ingredients until smooth. Stick in fridge for 10 minutes or so to slightly firm up.
3. In another bowl, mix together the pecan topping ingredients.
4. Place salmon on the baking sheet and sprinkle with salt and pepper; then brush the honey mustard pretty thick; then coat with pecan mixture and pat that down.
5. Bake for around 20 minutes, or until flaky and opaque in the the thickest part.
