    Salmon is rich in omega-3 fatty acids and low in saturated fat. It's also a good source of vitamin D, selenium, protein, and phosphorus. This dish is browned in oil and baked until the topping is crisp and the fish is tender. This dish is not only easy and quick to make, it tastes as a top chef made it in your kitchen.

    Ingredients

    • 4 salmon fillets, around 6 ounces each
    • 1 cup milk
    • 1 cup pecans, finely chopped
    • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
    • 2 tablespoons packed brown sugar
    • 1 teaspoon salt
    • 1 teaspoon pepper
    • 3 tablespoons vegetable oil

    Method

    • Step-by-Step Method for Crusted Salmon
    • Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F)
    • Rinse and pat dry 4 salmon fillets with paper towel
    • Lightly season both sides of fillets with salt and pepper, using half the measured amount
    • Pour 1 cup milk into a shallow dish
    • In a separate bowl, combine 1 cup finely chopped pecans, 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, and the remaining salt and pepper
    • Dip each salmon fillet in milk, coating all surfaces evenly and shaking off excess
    • Press fillets into the pecan-flour mixture to form an even crust on one side
    • Heat 3 tablespoons vegetable oil in a large nonstick pan over medium heat
    • Once oil is shimmering, place salmon fillets, crust-side down, into the pan
    • Sear for 2-3 minutes without moving, until the crust is golden and set
    • Carefully flip fillets and sear the other side for 1-2 minutes
    • Transfer seared fillets to a parchment-lined baking tray, crust side up
    • Bake in preheated oven until salmon is just cooked through, about 6-8 minutes (adjust based on thickness)
    • Let rest for 2 minutes before plating
    • Serving suggestion: Arrange salmon over a bed of lightly dressed salad greens or cooked seasonal vegetables to complement the buttery crust
    • Plating: For elegance, drizzle any pan juices or a citrus wedge alongside, add a light sprinkle of fresh herbs if available
