Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Combine pecans, panko, salt, and parsley in a small bowl.
- Melt butter and pour over pecan mixture, tossing to coat.
- Pat salmon dry and spread with cranberry sauce, about 2 TBSP per filet, then top with pecan topping.
- Bake 10-15 minutes, until salmon is tender and flakes easily with a fork. The general rule of thumb is 10 minutes of cook time per inch of thickness, which should help you adjust times based on the cut used.
- After removing the skin, plate the steamy salmon atop the fresh baby spinach as a salad, or gently wilt spinach in a skillet with a little butter and a pinch of salt. I typically go the salad route for salmon lunches and the wilted, cooked route with the spinach when serving salmon up for dinner. Choose your favorite method! Enjoy!
Notes
- Use skin-on salmon for easy serving and simply remove just before plating by inserting a knife or a thin spatula between the salmon and the skin. This is my favorite method for keeping the fish from flaking into a mess and assuring easy transfer from oven to plate. You can use fresh from the market salmon or frozen salmon, defrosted in the refrigerator overnight.
