An epic crunchy pecan crust that comes together in just 5 min – easy peasy. And the lemon glaze is to die for!
Mother’s Day is right around the corner, and this pecan-crusted salmon is just the perfect dish to whip up for this special day, or really, any other day of the week.
It’s just so stinking easy, yet it looks so fancy.
Now the secret is, you don’t tell anyone how effortless it really was. You don’t tell anyone that the epic crunchy, crisp pecan crust took less than 5 minutes to prepare with the help of a food processor.
That way, everyone will think you have been slaving away for hours and hours in the kitchen.
But what if you don’t have a food processor? Well, you can easily make this with, say, ten minutes. Still easy peasy.
When ready to serve, you can serve up that lemon glaze on the side or drizzled on top. Although it may not be a bad idea to have some extra for the table since the glaze is just absolutely heavenly!

Ingredients
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
2. To make the pecan crust, combine pecans, Panko and parsley in the bowl of a food processor until mixture resembles coarse crumbs; season with salt and pepper, to taste. Dredge each salmon filet with pecan mixture.
3. Melt butter in a large oven-proof skillet over medium high heat. Working in batches, add salmon to the skillet and sear both sides until golden brown, about 1-2 minutes per side.
4. Place into oven and bake until fish flakes easily with a fork, about 10-12 minutes.
5. To make the lemon glaze, combine honey, soy sauce, brown sugar, ginger, garlic, lemon juice and cornstarch in a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer until slightly thickened, about 3-4 minutes.
6. Serve salmon immediately with lemon glaze.
