Ingredients
Salmon Fillets
1 Cup Pecans
1 tsp Salt
2 tsp Herbs De Provence
1 TBSP Coconut Oil
1 TBSP Honey
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread 1 cup of pecans evenly on a baking sheet and bake them for 4 minutes. Give them a stir and toast for an additional 4 minutes until fragrant and lightly browned. Set the toasted pecans aside to cool.
- Increase the oven temperature to 400°F (200°C). Take your salmon fillets and place them in a casserole dish.
- In a high-speed blender, combine 1 teaspoon of salt, 2 teaspoons of herbs de Provence, 1 tablespoon of melted coconut oil, and 1 tablespoon of raw honey.
- Once the pecans have cooled down, add them to the blender. Pulse the mixture for just a few seconds until the pecans are roughly chopped and well incorporated into the seasoning blend. Be cautious not to overblend.
- Stir the mixture in the blender to ensure all the ingredients are evenly combined, then give it another quick blend for a few seconds.
- Take the pecan mixture and gently pat it down onto the top of each salmon fillet, creating a flavorful crust.
- Place the casserole dish with the salmon into the preheated oven and bake for approximately 20 minutes or until the salmon is cooked through and the crust is golden brown.
