Categories     Dinner

Time 20m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 tablespoon honey
¾ teaspoon salt, divided
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
¼ cup panko
¼ cup finely chopped pecans
2 teaspoons finely chopped parsley (optional, for color)
4 (6-oz) salmon fillets
1 lemon, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450°F and set an oven rack in the middle position. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy cleanup, and spray with nonstick cooking spray.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the mustard, melted butter, honey, ½ teaspoon salt, and pepper. Set aside.
  • In another small bowl, mix together the panko, pecans, parsley (if using), and remaining ¼ teaspoon salt.
  • Spoon the honey-mustard mixture evenly over the salmon fillets. (Don't worry if it drips down the sides a little.) Sprinkle the panko-pecan mixture over the glaze, pressing it lightly so it adheres.
  • Bake for 7-10 minutes per inch of thickness, depending on how well done you like your salmon. (If you find that the topping is browning more than you'd like before the fish is cooked through, loosely cover the salmon with foil.) Serve hot or at room temperature. (Note that if your salmon has skin, it may stick to the foil; to remove the fish from the pan, slide a thin spatula between the skin and the flesh, leaving the skin behind.)
  • Make Ahead: The salmon can be glazed, coated with the panko-pecan mixture, and refrigerated up to 3 hours ahead of time.

MAPLE PECAN CRUSTED SALMON



Maple Pecan Crusted Salmon image

This robust dinner (or lunch!) salad is a little Southern, a little Southwestern and a lot delicious. Save time by using leftover cooked chicken from another meal or store-bought rotisserie chicken.

Yield 4-6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons butter
1/3 cup pure maples syrup
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon ground mustard
1/2 cup pecans
2 - 2 1/2 pounds salmons fillets
Salt for sprinkling
Fresh lemon wedges for serving

Steps:

  • In a medium saucepan, melt the butter. Stir in the maple syrup, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, and ground mustard. Stir over medium heat until the mixture is warmed through, 3-4 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool to room temperature.
  • While the marinade is cooling, pour the pecans into a dry skillet and heat over medium heat, tossing frequently, until golden and toasted. Remove from heat; let the pecans cool to room temperature and then chop finely.
  • Place the salmon fillets in a gallon-sized ziploc bag. Pour the maple marinade over the salmon, coating the salmon pieces evenly. Seal the bag and refrigerate for 30 minutes or up to 4 hours. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Line a baking sheet with foil and lightly spray with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Place the toasted, chopped pecans on a plate or shallow pie dish. Remove the salmon from the refrigerator. Dip the top side of each salmon fillet in the pecan crumbs pressing the salmon lightly into the pecans so they adhere to the top of the salmon. Place the fillets pecan-side up on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Sprinkle the salmon with a pinch of salt.
  • Bake the salmon for 20-22 minutes until cooked through but still tender inside (not overcooked). The salmon should flake easily with a fork but still be soft and not dry. Serve immediately with fresh lemon wedges.

APPLE PECAN CRUSTED SALMON OVER WILD RICE



Apple Pecan Crusted Salmon over Wild Rice image

Simple Fall flavors. Fresh cranberries and apples in the wild rice topped with pecan crusted apple salmon. To make this easy and quick I use a box of wild rice, (such as Uncle Bens or any favorite brand).

Provided by SarasotaCook

Categories     Healthy

Time 1h

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 lbs salmon fillets, 4 1/2 lb pieces
10 tablespoons apple jelly
4 tablespoons white wine
1 tablespoon thyme, fresh and chopped fine (if dried 1/2 tablespoon)
1 teaspoon rosemary, fresh and chopped fine (or if dried 1/2 teaspoon)
1/3 cup pecans, chopped fine (just buy a small pkg prechopped)
salt and pepper
5 1/2 ounces wild rice, quick cooking (1 box, Uncle Bens or similar will work fine)
1/2 cup dried cranberries, and diced
1/2 cup apple, granny smith diced fine
chicken stock

Steps:

  • Make the apple glaze. In a microwavable bowl add the apple jelly and white wine to combine. Takes about 1 minute on medium. Remove and stir in the rosemary and thyme. Let cool a few minutes.
  • Let the salmon come to room temperature Brush on the apple glaze, add salt and pepper, just a little to each fillet and then sprinkle the top with pecans. Save the extra glaze to drizzle over the salmon.
  • Place the salmon on a baking/cookie sheet lined with parchment or foil and cook at 400F for about 15-20. Cooking time will vary on the thickness and size of the fillets. Half way through, drizzle more glaze on the fillets.
  • Cook the rice according to directions. But rather than using water -- substitute chicken broth for a rich flavor. Half way through cooking the rice which depending on what brand you get will be between 10 and 25 minutes, add the diced apples and cranberries.
  • Serve with roasted green beans, broccoli, brussels sprouts or asparagus. Cook right along with the fish. Just toss with olive oil, salt and pepper and roast. Nothing more needed.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready to go. This will help you stay organized and avoid any scrambling.
  • Choose fresh, high-quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the flavor of your dish. Whenever possible, opt for fresh, seasonal produce and wild-caught fish.
  • Cook the salmon to perfection: Salmon is a delicate fish, so it's important to cook it carefully. The best way to do this is to cook it over medium heat until it is just cooked through. Overcooking will make the salmon dry and tough.
  • Make sure the rice is cooked properly: Wild rice can be a bit tricky to cook, but it's worth the effort. Be sure to follow the package directions carefully and cook the rice until it is tender but still has a slight bite to it.
  • Don't over-mix the apple pecan crust: The apple pecan crust should be mixed together until just combined. Over-mixing will make the crust tough.
  • Serve the salmon immediately: Salmon is best served immediately after it is cooked. This will help ensure that it is moist and flavorful.

Conclusion:

Apple pecan crusted salmon over wild rice is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion. The salmon is cooked to perfection and the apple pecan crust adds a sweet and crunchy flavor. The wild rice is a healthy and flavorful side dish that complements the salmon perfectly. This dish is sure to impress your guests and is a great way to enjoy the fresh flavors of fall.
