  • 5. Serve salmon alone or place on top of spinach salad. Tastes great with goat cheese and avacado

Tips:

  • Always use fresh fish fillets that are firm and have a mild odor. If you're using frozen fish, thaw it completely before cooking.
  • To help the pecans stick to the salmon, brush the fillets with a thin layer of olive oil or melted butter before coating them in the pecan mixture.
  • If you don't have a baking dish, you can cook the salmon in a large skillet over medium heat. Just be sure to cover the skillet tightly so that the salmon cooks evenly.
  • The cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the salmon fillets. Use a kitchen thermometer to check that the salmon is cooked to your liking before removing it from the oven or skillet.
  • Serve the salmon immediately with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.
