Mustard Pecan Crusted Salmon Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375ºF.
• Mix butter, mustard and honey until blended; spread onto fish.
• Cover baking sheet with parchment. Combine bread crumbs, nuts and pepper in pie plate.
• Dip coated sides of fish, 1 at a time, in crumb mixture; place, coated sides up, on prepared baking sheet. Gently press crumb mixture into fish to secure.
• Bake 15 to 20 min. or until fish flakes easily with fork. Serve with lemon wedges.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• In a small bowl, stir together butter, mustard, and honey. Set aside. In another bowl, mix together bread crumbs, pecans, and parsley.
• Brush each salmon fillet lightly with honey mustard mixture, and sprinkle the tops of the fillets with the bread crumb mixture.
• Bake salmon 12 to 15 minutes in the preheated oven, or until it flakes easily with a fork. Season with salt and pepper, and garnish with a wedge of lemon.

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan, melt the butter. Stir in the maple syrup, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, and ground mustard. Stir over medium heat until the mixture is warmed through, 3-4 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool to room temperature.
• While the marinade is cooling, pour the pecans into a dry skillet and heat over medium heat, tossing frequently, until golden and toasted. Remove from heat; let the pecans cool to room temperature and then chop finely.
• Place the salmon fillets in a gallon-sized ziploc bag. Pour the maple marinade over the salmon, coating the salmon pieces evenly. Seal the bag and refrigerate for 30 minutes or up to 4 hours. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Line a baking sheet with foil and lightly spray with nonstick cooking spray.
• Place the toasted, chopped pecans on a plate or shallow pie dish. Remove the salmon from the refrigerator. Dip the top side of each salmon fillet in the pecan crumbs pressing the salmon lightly into the pecans so they adhere to the top of the salmon. Place the fillets pecan-side up on the prepared baking sheet.
• Sprinkle the salmon with a pinch of salt.
• Bake the salmon for 20-22 minutes until cooked through but still tender inside (not overcooked). The salmon should flake easily with a fork but still be soft and not dry. Serve immediately with fresh lemon wedges.
