I love finding new ways to enjoy Salmon. Usually we cook it on the grill but in this recipe the salmon cooks in the oven. I adapted this recipe from a recipe I found on Taste of Home. This Nut Crusted Salmon can be prepared ahead which makes it a perfect dish to serve for company. You can prepare the salmon and then refrigerate until ready to put in the oven.
Nut Crusted Salmon
Ingredients:
1 pound of fresh baby spinach
1 ½ pounds of salmon
1 tsp. olive oil
3 Tbsp. honey
3 Tbsp. Dijon mustard
¼ cup panko breadcrumbs
2 Tbsp. sliced almonds
2 Tbsp. chopped pecans
¼ cup mayonnaise
Directions:
Place the spinach in a 13 x 9 inch baking dish that has been sprayed with cooking spray. Top with the salmon. Drizzle oil over the spinach.
Combine honey and mustard. Remove 2 Tbsp. of the mixture and brush over the salmon. Place the panko crumbs, almonds and pecans in a small food processor; cover and process until ground. Press the nut mixture onto the salmon.
Stir mayonnaise into the remaining honey mixture. Refrigerate until serving.
Bake the salmon, uncovered, at 450 for 18-22 minutes or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
Drizzle with the reserved sauce. Serve with brown rice. Makes about 6 servings.
Side note: Remember that sauce I made with the extra honey-mustard? Well I made it, put it in the refrigerator to chill and did’t think of it again until after we finished the salmon… The salmon was very good but I’ve tried it with the sauce and it was even better!
