Ingredients (13)

  • 28 oz boneless salmon equals 4 filets
  • 10 oz green beans
  • 2 oz pecan crumbled
  • 0.5 oz parsley chopped
  • 0.5 oz grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup plain Panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 2 tbsp plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 tbsp Japanese mayonnaise
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp lemon juice

INSTRUCTIONS

1

Preheat the oven to 375℉.

2

Make the pecan crust: Combine 0.5 oz parsley, 2 oz pecan, 0.5 oz grated Parmesan cheese, 1/4 cup plain breadcrumbs, and 1/2 tsp garlic powder in a food processor. Process until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

3

Add 1 tbsp unsalted butter to the pecan crust mixture. Mix well.

4

Make the glaze for the salmon: In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tbsp Greek yogurt, 2 tbsp Japanese mayonnaise, 1/2 tsp ground black pepper, 1/2 tsp lemon juice, and 1/2 tsp salt until well combined.

5

Brush the glaze evenly onto the salmon filets.

6

Dredge each salmon filet with the pecan crust mixture.

7

Place the salmon filets onto the baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the oven for 15 minutes until they flake easily with a fork.

8

In the meantime, microwave 10 oz green beans for 4 minutes, then run cool water over them to preserve the greenness.

9

Remove the salmon from the oven. Serve alongside green beans.
