Time 25m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 pound salmon fillets
salt and ground black pepper to taste
½ cup mayonnaise
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon chopped fresh dill
½ medium lemon, juiced
½ cup pecans

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Cut salmon into smaller, equal-sized portions if needed. Pat dry. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Mix mayonnaise, garlic, dill, and lemon juice together in a bowl. Season with salt.
  • Place the pecans in a food processor. Pulse for 1 second and check the size of the pieces. You want it to be not quite powdery, but still with some larger chunks. Continue to pulse in 1-second bursts until desired consistency is achieved.
  • Place the salmon on a baking sheet. Layer the top of the salmon with aioli, then with pecans, until completely covered.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until fish flakes easily with a fork, 15 to 20 minutes.
