Baked Dijon Salmon

1/4 cup butter, melted

 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard

 1 1/2 tablespoons honey

 1/4 cup dry bread crumbs

 1/4 cup finely chopped pecans

 4 teaspoons chopped fresh parsley (or 1 tsp dried)

 4 (4 ounce) fillets salmon

 salt and pepper to taste

 1 lemon, for garnish

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

In a small bowl, stir together butter, mustard, and honey. Set aside. In another bowl, mix together bread crumbs, pecans, and parsley.

Season salmon with salt and pepper to taste.  Spread each salmon fillet with honey mustard mixture (save extra for serving if desired), and sprinkle the tops of the fillets with the bread crumb mixture.

Bake salmon 12 to 15 minutes in the preheated oven, or until it flakes easily with a fork.  

Garnish with a wedge of lemon.
