Honey & Dijon Baked Salmon

🧂 Ingredients

• 450 g salmon fillet

  pinbones removed (see note about skin)
• 1/4 cup butter

  melted (~55 g)
• 3 tbsp Dijon mustard
• 1.5 tbsp honey
• 1/4 cup coarse dried bread crumbs

  (see note)
• 1/4 cup pecans

  coarsely chopped, plus a few to garnish
• 3 tsp fresh dill

  chopped
• 2 tsp flat leaf parsley

  chopped
• salt

  to taste
• black pepper

  freshly ground, to taste
• 1/2 small lemon

  (optional)
• 450 g green beans

  stems trimmed and discarded
• 1.5 tbsp butter
• sea salt

  ideally flake or cracked, to taste

Instructions

• 1 Preheat the oven to 400° F (200° C).
• 2 Combine the melted butter, mustard, and honey. Set aside.
• 3 Combine the breadcrumbs, pecans, and herbs in a food processor and pulse until
  the mixture is well combined but still somewhat coarse. Set aside.
• 4 (Note - if you want to garnish the salmon with extra honey-mustard, set a
  portion aside now to keep it out of contact with the raw salmon) Brush the
  surface of the salmon fillets with the honey/mustard mixture, then cover with a
  liberal amount of the bread crumb mixture.
• 5 Bake the salmon on a baking tray for about 12 minutes, or until the salmon is
  relatively flaky but still dense, moist, and a little darker in the center.
• 6 Garnish with a little salt and pepper and serve with lemon wedges. Serve over
  the sauteed green beans (see below) or any other side of your choosing. For a
  fancy looking presentation, brush plates with reserved honey-mustard sauce.
• 7 While the salmon is baking, melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-high
  heat.
• 8 Once the butter begins to brown slightly and take on a nutty aroma, add the
  beans to the pan and saute for about 4-5 minutes, or until the beans are tender
  and a deep, vibrant green. Garnish with salt and serve with the salmon.
