Baked Dijon Salmon

My family loves salmon. I found this recipe some years ago when my siblings and I were looking for an easy but tasty dish to make for our parents. It truly takes only about 20 minutes or so (from start to finish!) and always gets high marks. In fact, I've been told that this recipe has turned some people into salmon-lovers!

BAKED DIJON SALMON

Ingredients:

• 1/4 cup butter, melted
• 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 1-1/2 tablespoons honey
• 1/4 cup dry bread crumbs
• 1/4 cup finely chopped pecans
• 4 teaspoons chopped fresh parsley
• 4 (4 ounce) fillets salmon (or 1 lb total)
  
• salt and pepper to taste
• 1 lemon, for garnish

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 400 ºF (200 ºC).
2. In a small bowl, stir together butter, mustard, and honey. Set aside. In another bowl, mix together bread crumbs, pecans, and parsley.
3. Brush each salmon fillet lightly with honey mustard mixture, and sprinkle the tops of the fillets with the bread crumb mixture.
4. Bake salmon 12 to 15 minutes in the preheated oven, or until it flakes easily with a fork. Season with salt and pepper, and garnish with a wedge of lemon.
