Pecan Crusted Salmon over Mustard Sauce

This is a very low carb recipe because I've omitted the breadcrumbs.  If you want to add breadcrumbs to the topping, just reduce the amount of pecans in equal measure.  Enjoy! | www.lakesidetable.com

Ingredients

  • 4 6 oz salmon filets

TOPPING

  • 1 cup finely chopped pecans
  • 2 tablespoons dried Italian herb
  • 1/3 cup minced fresh herbs parsley, thyme, oregano
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • juice of 1/2 a lemon
  • 3 tablespoon melted butter

MUSTARD SAUCE

  • 1/4 cup mustard
  • 2/3 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried mustard
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425º
  2. Mix all the topping ingredients together.  It should be slightly moist, like wet sand.
  3. Place the salmon on a cookie sheet, skin side down.  Next put equal amounts of the pecan mixture over the entire top of the salmon.  Place a lemon wheel on top (optional).
  4. Put the salmon in the oven, turn the temperature down to 350º.  Bake for 30-40 minutes depending on the thickness of the fish.*
  5. To make the mustard sauce, mix together the sour cream, mustard, salt, and dried mustard.  Set aside until the salmon is done.
  6. Putting it all together: put a generous dollop of mustard sauce on your plate and place the salmon on top.

Recipe Notes

* Baking time: a good rule of thumb when baking fish is 15 minutes per 1/2 inch at the thickest part.

Variation: try adding a teaspoon of mustard seeds to the sauce! I love their texture and they add a little more punch to the creaminess of the sauce.
