Steps

Read instructions and get ready to cook

1
Preheat the oven

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

2
Prepare the walnut crust

In a food processor, pulse the walnuts until finely chopped, but not ground into a paste.

3
Prepare the mustard mixture

In a small bowl, whisk together the Dijon mustard, honey, garlic powder, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper.

4
Prepare the salmon

Place the salmon fillets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the olive oil evenly over the fillets.

5
Coat the salmon with the mustard mixture

Spread the mustard mixture evenly over the top of each salmon fillet.

6
Add the walnut crust

Press the chopped walnuts onto the mustard-coated salmon fillets, creating an even crust.

Bake the salmon

Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the fish easily flakes with a fork and the walnut crust is lightly browned.
