Baked Dijon Salmon

Thanks to my sister Rebecca I have found a great i phone app... the Allrecipes App. It's free and is a great source for quick recipes. We found this recipe on good Friday when I almost served the salmon with a bacon topping. It was a blond moment...

This was a hit even though I had to improvise a bit with the ingredients:

1/4 cup melted butter
3 tablespoons Dijon Mustard
1 1/2 tablespoons honey
1/4 cup dry bread crumbs
1/4 cup finely chopped pecans (I substituted raw almonds and that worked great too)
4 teaspoons chopped fresh parsley (dried parsley works fine as well)
Salmon fillets
Salt and pepper to taste

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a small bowl stir together melted butter mustard and honey. Set aside. In another bowl mix together bread crumbs, pecans and parsley. Brush each salmon fillet with the honey mustard mixture and sprinkle generously with the bread crumb mixture. Bake salmon for about 15 minutes until it flakes easily with a fork.

Mix ingredients together and refrigerate for at least an hour. Enjoy!!

Salmon Crumble from the kitchen of Nancy Lamothe

I made this during the week and the whole family enjoyed it. This is quick, easy and healthy:

- Place 2 lbs Salmon on top of foil
- Coat with Ranch Dressing (I use Hidden Valley lite or fat free)
- Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste (you can skip the salt as the flavor is great anyway and the bacon adds salt. You may also sprinkle dill to add a new flavor)
- Fry 1 lb of bacon extra crispy and crumble over the salmon
- Sprinkle about 1/4 cup of feta cheese over the bacon
- Wrap tightly in foil

Place the wrapped package on a hot grill and grill on high until cooked through: usually 20-30 minutes.

Enjoy :)
