One of my friends deemed this "Baklava Salmon" and the name stuck. The salmon & mustard go well with the honey, butter, and walnuts. We usually serve this with rice and steamed carrots or broccoli.

SERVES 4 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

1/4 cup melted butter
3 tablespoons whole grain mustard or Dijon mustard (or your favorite)
1 1/2 tablespoons honey
1/4 cup dry breadcrumbs
1/4 cup walnuts or pecans, finely chopped
4 teaspoons fresh parsley, chopped
4 (4 ounce) salmon fillets
fresh ground pepper
kosher salt
1 quartered lime or lemon (optional)

Directions

1
Preheat oven to 400°; Line shallow roasting pan with non-stick aluminum foil, or spray with non-stick pan spray.
2
In small bowl, blend butter, mustard, and honey, set aside; in another bowl, mix together bread crumbs, nuts, and parsley.
3
Place salmon fillets on prepared pan, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and brush with honey-mustard mixture; sprinkle tops with crumb/nut mixture; if any remains, press into sides of salmon.
4
Bake salmon 12-15 minutes in preheated oven, or until it flakes easily with a fork, serve with lime or lemon wedge.

Yummy!!! My boyfriend prepared this for me last nite with a side of asparagus and brown rice. It was deeeeelicious! By far the best salmon concoction ive tasted. I loved the crusty nutty topping. Can't wait to cook it again!

Nice! A lovely combo of tastes and textures! I only added 2 teaspoons of honey as I don't like a lot of sweetness in my main course, but a touch of it really makes a difference here! Next time I'll cut down on the mustard a little as well (2 T maybe). A very good, quick recipe - thank you for sharing!

We have tried many fish recipes lately, trying to get more fish in our diets and this is our favorite so far. So easy and delicious. I substituted olive oil for butter because my husband has to watch his cholesterol. Try it!

a fantastic preparation for salmon that i will be using again. the most notable feature for us was the crustiness caused by the walnuts and breadcrumbs, which we loved. i combined fresh white breadcrumbs with walnut pieces in my mixie till i got a mealy texture, and the crumbs themselves tasted great so i knew how the dish would work out. i added just 2T of mustard and used 50% less fat light butter.
