Hi Friends!
Bad news is it’s been a busy week and I don’t have much time to chat. Good news is that I do have a SUPER easy recipe to share with you.
When I say simple, I mean simple. It’s just 3 ingredients:
- Salmon.
- Hummus.
- Pecans.
I served it on a bed of lettuce with some quinoa and topped it with a goat cheese medallion and some raspberries. Voila!
To make the salmon:
- Pat the salmon fillets dry.
- Spread a layer of hummus on top.
- Sprinkle with chopped nuts and press gently so they stick!
Stick it on a foil-lined baking sheet and bake a 400 degrees until salmon is cooked through!
Enjoy!

How have I never thought to add hummus before?! I’m always doing lemon and dill and Greek yogurt. Hummus is ON next week. Thanks for the inspiration!!!
Lindsay says
you’re quite welcome 🙂
Miz says
HUMMUS??
such a great idea.
I do love me my salmon.
Tina @ Best Body Fitness says
Not even a huge fish fan and I so want some of this. The goat cheese medallion on top has to happen too, of course.
Lindsay says
duh! the goat cheese is always necessary 🙂
Anne says
Hummus with salmon sounds fantastic, but what is the texture of the humms like after baking it?
Does the salmon keep it moist, or does it crisp up?
Lindsay says
the salmon stays moist…the hummus changes texture a little bit but doesn’t really get crispy per say
Linz @ Itz Linz says
This looks AWESOME and ridiculously easy!! That hummus pecan salmon combo is stellar!!
Lindsay says
thanks girl! i thought it worked out pretty well 🙂
Avery @ Southern Belle Living Well says
Whoa, I’ve never thought to use hummus in cooking. It’s always been a “eat with veggies, or perhaps on a salad” kind of spread, and it was ALWAYS cold. This is a really cool way to use an ingredient differently, Thank You!
Lindsay says
you’re welcome! i’m always looking for new uses for the things i love!
Danica @ It's Progression says
yum! I’m getting bored with just regular baked salmon–I’m excited to try this!
Lindsay says
woohoo!!! enjoy, girl!
Sara @ fitcupcaker says
So easy and probably so tasty…I feel like humus can be used for anything! Great recipe
misszippy says

Hang onto your week, lady — sounds like a busy one for you!

Kierston says
Awesome! Just awesome! I love hummus on everything lol
Anele @ Success Along the Weigh says
Looks wonderful and what a shame I just happen to have macadamia nut pieces that need to be used up!
Lindsay says
haha perfect! enjoy!
Tanya says
I’m making fish tomorrow night, I don’t have salmon though just tilapia. I wonder if it would taste good on a different fish. I might try it and see.
Lindsay says
i think it could definitely work on other types of fish!
Lindsay says
So easy! I can’t wait to make this 🙂
Lindsay says
let me know what you think of it!
Kristen@Change of Pace says
This is so versatile! You could use different flavors of hummus or a different type of fish. Great recipe 🙂
Lindsay says
definitely! i’m gonna try it out with some white fish next!
Helen says
Lindsay! These looks yummy! I like how it’s simple to make too. I can’t wait to make this. =)

Melissa @ Freeing Imperfections says
Wow, hummus on salmon! Who would’ve thought? Any particular kind of hummus or just “plain?” I love salmon, so I’ll have to give this a try! Thanks 🙂
Lindsay says
i used pine nut hummus but any kind would work. roasted red pepper would be good!
Lisa @ RunWiki says
Perfecto! looks amazing

Presley @ Run Pretty says
That looks so good, Lindsay! I really, really need to start cooking more fish. I always get overwhelmed, though, because I want to make it “fancy”. This looks more my style! 🙂
Lindsay says
doesn’t have to be fancy!!! simple is best in my opinion!
Amber @ The Cook's Sister says
I love this salmon recipe! It’s so easy… and I love all of the ingredients! I have some leftover hummus that needs to be used up, and this looks like a great way to do so!
