Salmon is one of our favorite meaty fish, prepared broiled, grilled, or raw with sushi, we love it so much we have made our Dill Crusted Salmon with Dill Sauce very often, too many times to count!
This image is the salmon fillets ready to be put under the broiler, click for a larger view.
This time we found some wild caught salmon and a new recipe that is quite tasty and draws from some of the old Creole roots from New Orleans. Using a glaze of honey and Creole mustard this is brushed onto the salmon fillet and topped with chopped pecans, then broiled until done.
| Ingredients | ||
| 2 | Tbsp | Honey |
| 2 | Tbsp | Creole mustard, (Zatarain’s) |
| 6 | Each | Salmon fillets, 6-ounces each |
| Cooking spray | ||
| ½ | Tsp | Freshly cracked black pepper |
| ½ | Tsp | Coarse salt |
| ¼ | Cup | Pecans, chopped |
| Procedure Steps | |
| 1. | Preheat broiler to a high setting |
| 2. | Combine the Creole mustard and honey in a small bowl until well mixed. |
| 3. | Place the salmon fillets onto a sheet pan or broiler pan lightly coated with cooking spray. |
| 4. | Evenly brush the honey mustard mixture onto all the fillets, and then season with the black pepper and salt. Sprinkle the pecans evenly between the salmon fillets. |
| 5. | Place about 6 to 8 inches from the broiler and allow to cook for 8 to 10 minutes, or until fish flakes easily with a fork. |

We are actually making salmon tonight! No honey for me for at least another week though, so I’m putting this in the “to make as soon as I can eat again” file – it looks so good!

Oh Chef I really like salmon and this looks great. I would so like to try it however my family doesn’t. They say it’s too thick, kinda dry for fish. They like other fish and seafood. Any suggestions?

This sounds interesting, I just got 10 pounds of wild salmon so I will give this a try.

How can you go wrong with honey mustard & pecans?
11 Ryan Boudreaux // Jan 28, 2010 at 7:02 pm
@redkathy, any firm flesh fish would do, such as catfish, trout, snapper, swordfish, perch.
