Baked Salmon with Honey Mustard and Pecan Panko Crust
*This image and recipe was adapted from Once Upon a Chef's, Baked Salmon with Honey Mustard and Pecan-Panko Crust. Check out her website where you can find other delicious and family approved recipes.
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp Dijon Mustard
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tbsp Cloister Honey's Wildflower Honey
- 3/4 tsp Salt, divided
- 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
- 1/4 cup panko
- 1/4 cup finely chopped pecans
- 2 tsp finely chopped parsley
- 4 6 oz salmon filets
- 1 lemon, for serving, optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450°F and set an oven rack in the middle position. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy cleanup, and spray with nonstick cooking spray.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the mustard, melted butter, honey, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and pepper. Set aside.
- In another small bowl, mix together the panko, pecans, parsley (if using), and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt.
- Spoon the honey-mustard mixture evenly over the salmon fillets. (Don't worry if it drips down the sides a little.) Sprinkle the panko-pecan mixture over the glaze, pressing it lightly so it adheres.
- Bake for 7-10 minutes per inch of thickness, depending on how well done you like your salmon. (If you find that the topping is browning more than you’d like before the fish is cooked through, loosely cover the salmon with foil.) Serve hot or at room temperature. (Note that if your salmon has skin, it may stick to the foil; to remove the fish from the pan, slide a thin spatula between the skin and the flesh, leaving the skin behind.)
- Make Ahead: The salmon can be glazed, coated with the panko-pecan mixture, and refrigerated up to 3 hours ahead of time.

Pimento Cheese and Candied Bacon Burgers
Servings 4
Equipment
- Parchment paper
- Aluminum foil
- Baking sheet
Ingredients
- 1 lb Mousetrap pimento cheese
- 1 lb ground beef chuck, shaped into 1/4" patties
- 4 buns
- 2 tbsp cracked pepper
- 1/3 cup light brown sugar
- 8 pieces bacon
Instructions
How to make candied bacon:
- Preheat the oven to about 330 degrees.
- Put the bacon in a bowl and season them with pepper. Toss the bacon and pepper with about 1/3 cup of light brown sugar.
- Cover a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper. Make sure there is a single layer. If there is any sugar left over, sprinkle it over the bacon.
- Place another layer of foil or parchment paper on top, and then place another baking sheet on top to flatten the bacon.
- Bake for 20 minutes and then check on it. If it isn't golden brown or a little crispy, cook again for another 10 minutes. Check it again. Repeat if necessary. I ended up cooking the bacon for about 40 minutes. Just something to remember: the bacon will still cook a little even after it has been removed from the oven.
How to make the burgers:
- Grill burgers to desired temperature, adding a generous layer of pimento cheese to the top after they are done.
- Add finished candied bacon and serve immediately. Recipe by @fabulousinfayette
