Description
A deliciously unexpected combination of creamy and crunchy atop flaky baked salmon.
Ingredients
- 1 pound salmon fillets
- salt and ground black pepper to taste
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon chopped fresh dill
- ½ medium lemon, juiced
- ½ cup pecans
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
- Cut salmon into smaller
- equal-sized portions if needed. Pat dry. Season with salt and pepper.
- Mix mayonnaise
- garlic
- dill
- and lemon juice together in a bowl. Season with salt.
- Place the pecans in a food processor. Pulse for 1 second and check the size of the pieces. You want it to be not quite powdery
- but still with some larger chunks. Continue to pulse in 1-second bursts until desired consistency is achieved.
- Place the salmon on a baking sheet. Layer the top of the salmon with aioli
- then with pecans
- until completely covered.
- Bake in the preheated oven until fish flakes easily with a fork
