Pecan Crusted Salmon

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.

This Pecan Crusted Salmon requires just 3 ingredients. Diner is served!

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!

This Pecan Crusted Salmon requires just 3 ingredients. Diner is served!

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!!!

    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.

    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?

      the salmon stays moist…the hummus changes texture a little bit but doesn’t really get crispy per say

    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!

    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.

    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! 🙂
