This simple nut crusted salmon takes just 5 minutes to whip up and is on the table in under 30 minutes! The honey mustard glaze topped with nuts is the perfect combination of sweet and savory.
1/2cupnuts of your choice, coarsely chopped(walnuts, almonds, pecans, pistachios, or a mixture)
1poundsalmon
Lemon wedges,optional
Instructions
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. In a small bowl mix together honey, dijon mustard, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper.
Spoon the honey glaze evenly over the salmon until completely coated but not running off of the salmon. You may end up with some extra glaze.*
Press chopped nuts on top of the glazed salmon.
Line a baking sheet with foil and bake salmon for 12-15 minutes, or until fish flakes easily with a fork.** Serve with lemon wedges on the side, if desired.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days.
Notes
*You may end up with some extra glaze. You can save this for drizzling over the salmon at the end or toss with vegetables and olive oil for roasting.**You may also bake individual salmon fillets by following the same instructions. However, you may need to cook the salmon a couple minutes shorter to avoid overcooking.
