Instructions

Preheat oven to 425° F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or spray it with cooking spray. Place the salmon fillet(s) onto the prepared baking sheet, skin side down.
In a small bowl combine the dijon, maple syrup, rosemary, garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, smoked paprika, cayenne, salt and pepper.
Spread the mixture over the top of the salmon. Sprinkle the chopped walnuts evenly on top and gently press them down so they stick.
Bake the salmon on the middle rack of the oven for 8-12 minutes or until the thickest part flakes easily with a fork. Serve with lemon wedges if desired.
