My best salmon ever (Pecan Crusted)

"Mom this is your best job of salmon ever!"
That is what Nathan told me last night at dinner. This recipe is one of our favorites.

Large Filet Salmon

salt and pepper

2 Tbs. Dijon mustard

2 Tbs. butter, melted

1 1/2 Tbs. honey

1/4 cup soft breadcrumbs

1/4 cup finely chopped pecans (or any nut--last night we used walnuts because that's what we had)

1 Tbs. fresh chopped parsley

lemon slices

Sprinkle salmon with salt and pepper.  Place on greased baking sheet or dish.  I would suggest lining with tinfoil or parchment.  

Combine mustard, butter, and honey.  Pour over salmon.  Combine breadcrumbs, pecans, and parsley.  Spoon on top.  Bake at 350 for 20-30 minutes, depending on the thickness of the filet.  My filet was probably 1 and 1/3 pounds, and we had plenty of the sauce and bread crumb topping.  

The lemon juiced over it adds the perfect tang.  This salmon is rich and delicious.  

Serves about 4.
