servings
Day 177
Ingredients
- 1 ½ lbs. raw salmon
- 6 tablespoons whole grain mustard
- ⅓ cup finely chopped pecans
- ⅓ cup Panko bread crumbs
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- ⅛ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Place oven rack in upper third of the oven and preheat to 425°F.
- Prepare a rimmed baking sheet by lining it with parchment and spraying it with cooking spray.
- Place the salmon skin side down onto the prepared baking sheet. Remove any pin bones from the fillets, if necessary. With a small rubber spatula or offset spatula, evenly spread the 6 tablespoons of mustard over the entire fillet(s).
- In a mixing bowl, combine the 1/3 cup chopped pecans, 1/3 cup Panko bread crumbs, 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Mix well and cover the salmon.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes. Turn the broiler on to high and cook for 1-2 minutes, just until tops are golden. Watch carefully as it can burn very quickly.
Notes
Choose a center cut fillet(s) as the thinner tails will cook more quickly.
