Time 25m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 pound salmon fillets
salt and ground black pepper to taste
½ cup mayonnaise
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon chopped fresh dill
½ medium lemon, juiced
½ cup pecans

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Cut salmon into smaller, equal-sized portions if needed. Pat dry. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Mix mayonnaise, garlic, dill, and lemon juice together in a bowl. Season with salt.
  • Place the pecans in a food processor. Pulse for 1 second and check the size of the pieces. You want it to be not quite powdery, but still with some larger chunks. Continue to pulse in 1-second bursts until desired consistency is achieved.
  • Place the salmon on a baking sheet. Layer the top of the salmon with aioli, then with pecans, until completely covered.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until fish flakes easily with a fork, 15 to 20 minutes.

I've made this recipe several times, and it's always a hit. The salmon is always cooked perfectly, and the crust is crispy and flavorful. The lemon-dill aioli is also delicious.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my salmon turned out dry and overcooked. The crust was also a bit too hard.

This recipe was a bit too bland for my taste. I think it could have used more seasoning, both in the crust and the aioli.

This dish was easy to make and turned out great. The salmon was moist and flaky, and the crust was crispy and flavorful. The lemon-dill aioli was a perfect complement to the salmon.

I'm not a big fan of fish, but this recipe changed my mind. The pecan crust was so good, and the salmon was cooked perfectly. I'll definitely be making this again.
