Submitted by Jenny Frenny

"I found this recipe a while ago on another cooking web site. I wasn't sure I would like it because I typically only like "sweet salmon" but the honey keeps the dijon mustard from being overpowering."

I liked this recipe. I think I would marinate the salmon next time. I also made extra sauce and was glad I did....poured it over the salmon and it was great! Also, I used almonds instead of pecans for the breadcrumb crust.

Oh, yeah, this makes for a great tasting & easy-to-make salmon dinner! I love salmon, & am always interested in new ways to fix it! The combo of Dijon, honey & nuts = VERY, VERY NICE! Thanks for posting this serious keeper!
