Ingredients
- 4 (6 ounce) salmon fillets
- Kosher salt, to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard or a course grain mustard
- 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup or to taste
- 1 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil and drizzle lightly with olive oil. Place the salmon skin side down on the sheet and season with salt and pepper.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the mustard, maple syrup and olive oil. Spoon the mixture over the salmon, then coat the top with the chopped pecans, pressing gently so they adhere. Bake for 12 to 14 minutes, or until the salmon is almost cooked through and the nuts are lightly browned. A good rule of thumb for fish is about 10 minutes of cooking time per inch of thickness. If the pecans begin to brown too quickly, loosely cover the salmon with foil. Serve warm.
