Pecan Encrusted Salmon with Dijon Honey Glaze

Another amazing dish from my friend Kelsey! At the age of 21, she spent a summer as a professional chef in a Hood River Restaurant. This is the dish she chose as the main course on opening night. This is always a crowd pleaser, even for those who don't like fish! It is relatively simple and looks amazing. You'll have everyone thinking you worked for hours in the kitchen on this dish!

Ingredients
2lb Salmon
1 cup bread crumbs, chopped
3/4 cup pecans, chopped
1/2 cup parsley, finely chopped
salt and pepper to taste
set aside

Dijon Mixture
6 Tbsp. butter, melted
3-4 Tbsp. Dijon mustard
¼-1/3 cup honey
5 cloves garlic, chopped
1 juice of lemon, (3T lemon juice)
2 tablespoons olive oil, drizzle and whipped in slowly
salt and pepper to taste

Note-if you like your glaze sweet add the larger amount of honey, if you like a little more kick, add more Dijon and garlic

Method

1. Press crumb mixture on top of salmon. Drizzle Dijon glaze over salmon and bread mixture. Drizzle glaze over salmon again half way through cooking.
