Reviews
Easy, easy to prep and leave in refrigerator until baked. Very tasty. Entire family loved it!!!
We have this salmon regularly. My husband didn’t like salmon much until I made this.
Yum, baked at 425 degrees for 13 minutes at 6000 ft. altitude. A little overcooked. Maybe 11 minutes. But very good!
Simple and delicious
Amazing taste with smokey spicy hints. Paired well with cashew broccoli recipe.
This was just okay. The salmon was dry, but that may or may not be the recipe’s fault.
One of mine and my husband’s favorite salmon recipes!
This was absolutely delicious! I reduced the recipe to a single serving since I was making it only for myself, and I didn’t refrigerate the salmon after coating it with the pecan mixture, and it still came out amazing. It was so flavorful, and I loved the crunch of the pecans. This recipe is definitely a keeper!
Delicious!
Perfect!
This was excellent.
My husband said this is as good as a five-star restaurant!
I made it. it was easy to make. I had sweet potato cake with it
Family loved it!!!
My husband who generally doesn’t like salmon lined this!
Everyone loved it! I found the recipe an hour before I was making it, so I didn’t let it marinate. It was still so tasty. Do Not use a vita-mix blender, there were not enough ingredients to reach the blades.

Great recipe! Followed the directions as is and the whole family loved it.
Easy – delicious- great alternative for fish lovers . Followed recipe, helps to chill as noted. This is a keeper.
I made the exact recipe and it was fantastic.
Made this for my sister in law, she said it was restaurant quality! It was so good! Also brought it to my Aunt’s house for a pot luck, now she keeps bugging me for the recipe! My uncle said it was his favorite dish. Didn’t have the apple cider vinegar on hand, so I used balsalmic, it was just as good if not better. I also subbed in red pepper flakes which added just the smallest amount of heat as an after bite. such a good recipe, I will definitely be making this often
