Baked Dijon Salmon

My favorite way to cook salmon is on the grill. But in the winter months, I'm always looking for other options. This picture does not do this recipe justice. The tangy dijon with the sweet honey with the crunchy panko breadcrumb topping was amazing! I had 1 large salmon fillet, so I cut this recipe in half and it was plenty. So quick, easy, and delicious!
Another good recipe on my blog is Parmesan Salmon Sticks:

Baked Dijon Salmon
1/2 stick butter, melted
3 T. dijon mustard
1 1/2 T. honey
1/4 c. panko breadcrumbs
1/4 c. finely chopped pecans
1 T. chopped fresh parsley
4 salmon fillets
salt & pepper to taste
Lemon wedges, if desired

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

In small bowl, whisk melted butter, mustard & honey together. In another bowl, stir together breadcrumbs, pecans, parsley, salt & pepper.

Brush or drizzle each salmon fillet with honey mustard mixture and sprinkle the top with the breadcrumb mixture.

Bake 15-20 minutes until fish flakes easily with a fork.
