This is the kind of dish you order at a restaurant and think, "Could i possibly make this at home?" It's actually quite easyThis pecan crusted salmon can be thrown together in practically no time. Pecans are rich and buttery nuts, most famously featured in pecan pie, and pralines as well. If you want to make this baked salmon even more special, toast the pecans in advance. Just place the pecans in a dry skillet and heat over very low heat, tossing occasionally, until they start to brown and turn fragrant. Then mix the pecans with the bread crumbs and prepare the salmon according to the recipe directions.
