Make Healthy Meals

2 tbsp butter, melted
1 tbsp olive oil
3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon honey
2 tsp lemon juice
1/4 cup dry bread crumbs
1/4 cup finely chopped walnuts
basil to taste
oregano to taste
1 clove garlic, minced
1 lb salmon filet, cut into individual servings
salt and pepper to taste
Brush salmon filet with the lemon juice, butter, honey and mustard. Marinate salmon for 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

Combine bread crumbs, walnuts, oregano, basil and garlic in a bowl. Sprinkle filets with this mixture and place on cooking tray. Bake 12-15 minutes or until salmon flakes easily with a fork. Season with salt and pepper.

Editor’s Note:

Other kinds of nuts work well too, and some prefer them more ground up than chopped. You can cut the butter out if you like too.

   This sounds delicious! You know what kind of nuts might work particularly well? Toasted pine nuts, chopped coarsely. I’m bookmarking this recipe. We’re such huge salmon fans around here that I’m always looking for new ways to prepare it. This one’s next up. Thanks!

   This is some good timing! I just bought a nice salmon fillet and I was going to do the same old same old lemon pepper. Thanks for something new!
