Recipe Tips & Tricks:

• Ensure the salmon fillets are patted dry before applying the mustard-honey mixture to help the pecan crust adhere.
• Be generous with pecans! The generous coating of chopped pecans ensures a crunchy and flavorful crust that makes this dish extra special.
• Keep an eye on the salmon while baking to prevent overcooking. Aim for a moist and tender interior with a golden-brown crust on the exterior.
