Nuts in the strangest places: Pecan-crusted salmon recipe
By glassvisage
Like nuts? Like fish? You should try this recipe.
It's easy... I can't cook, yet I managed to create this baby (after nearly burning myself with oil while trying to flip a piece of chicken in a pan...). The pecans give it a really great taste. Did I say it's really easy to make?
Pecan-crusted salmon
- 4 fillets of salmon, 6 ounces each or so
- 2 cups of milk
- 1 cup of pecans, finely chopped
- 1/2 cup flour
- 1/4 brown sugar
- 2 tsp seasoned salt
- 2 tsp pepper
- 3 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 resealable plastic bag
- Medium bowl (not deep)
- Skillet
- Baking pan, 15x10x1 inches
- Nonstick spray
- Stove and oven
- Put the salmon and milk in the bag. Seal it and coat the fish with milk, letting it sit for 10 minutes, then drain.
- Mix the pecans, flour, brown sugar, salt, and pepper in the bowl. Cover the fish with the mixture, making sure the coat is thick and even.
- Fry the salmon in the oil in the skillet until browned, then put the fish in the sprayed pan. Bake the fish at 400 degrees for 8 or 10 minutes or until the salmon is flaky... all done!
I suggest serving it with lemon wedges and/or vegetables on the side. You can also try making a glaze for it, like a honey-mustard or BBQ glaze. Make sure it's sweet!

I have already made this once, it is super yummy. My husband is a big salmon lover and he loved it too! I am making it again tonight!
I love this recipe. I shared it with my Mom too. I have made some changes to it so that I can serve it up gluten-free. This recipe gets double thumbs up up.Thank you.
