Servings: 2–4
Ingredients:

2 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)

½ cup Savannah Heat Krunch Pecans (crushed)

2 tablespoons Dijon mustard

1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional, for a touch of extra sweetness)

1 tablespoon melted butter or olive oil

Salt and pepper to taste

Lemon wedges, for serving

Instructions:

Preheat oven:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

Prepare pecan crust:
Place Savannah Heat Krunch Pecans in a zip-top bag and crush them lightly with a rolling pin or pulse in a food processor until coarsely chopped (not too fine — you want texture).

Season salmon:

Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel. Season lightly with salt and pepper.

Add mustard glaze:

In a small bowl, mix Dijon mustard and honey (if using). Brush this mixture generously over the top of each salmon fillet.
Apply pecan crust:

Press the crushed pecans onto the mustard-coated tops of the fillets, gently patting so they stick well.

Drizzle butter or oil:

Drizzle melted butter or olive oil over the crust to help it brown nicely.

Bake:

Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and the pecan crust is golden brown.

Serve:

Remove from oven and let rest for a couple of minutes. Serve with lemon wedges and your favorite side — like steamed broccoli or roasted potatoes.

✨ Tip: If you want extra crunch, you can broil the salmon for an additional 1–2 minutes at the end — watch carefully to avoid burning the pecans.
