If you search Google for “Alaska salmon bake with pecan crunch coating” (with the quotes), you end up with over 34,000 hits. Besides the recipe sites and food blogs that you would expect, there are some other interesting ones. A RV cooking site…..weight loss sites….photo sites, all within the realm of the expected. Standard print media…check.
The most unusual one that caught my eye was an auto dealership in Denton, Texas. They have a regular newsletter and in it they include recipes like this one. Who would have thought?
The coating was a perfect match for the salmon. It added some crunch and texture to the smooth, flaky fish.
Only three of us for dinner that night.

And the not so liquid topping.
The three stages: uncoated, brushed and topped.
Fantastic!

Rantings of an Amateur Chef 
Lol. Thought the recipe would somehow have it cooked in the car. My sister-in-law has a recipe for ‘dishwasher poached salmon’ which is cooked exactly as it sounds!

I really liked the sound of the blending of butter with honey and dijon mustard for brushing the salmon! This sounds scrumptious, I always love pecan crusted meats or fish!
