A delightful twist on baked salmon, combining honey mustard glaze with a crunchy nut topping.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Using parchment paper makes cleanup easier and prevents sticking.
In a mixing bowl, combine the butter, Dijon mustard, and honey until smooth.
Ensure the butter is softened for easier mixing.
In another bowl, mix together the chopped walnuts, pecans, and parsley.
Chop the nuts finely for a more even topping.
Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet. Season them with salt and pepper.
Pat the salmon dry with a paper towel for better seasoning adherence.
Brush the honey mustard glaze over the salmon fillets evenly.
Apply the glaze generously for a more flavorful result.
Sprinkle the nut mixture over the salmon, pressing gently to adhere.
Press the topping firmly to ensure it sticks during baking.
Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until it flakes easily with a fork.
Check the salmon at 12 minutes to avoid overcooking.
Serve the salmon with lime wedges on the side for a fresh citrus touch.
Squeeze lime juice over the salmon just before eating for a burst of flavor.
