I’ve got a tasty one for you today, Pecan Grilled Salmon. The great thing about this recipe is that it is quick and easy, but it has some great flavor. I love grilled salmon, and I think you are going to love this one too.
Grilled Pecan Salmon
1 lb Salmon fillet
1 tsp Olive Oil
2 tbsp Mayonnaise
1 tsp Dijon Mustard
1/4 cup Croutons, crushed
1/4 cup Pecans, chopped
Set up your gas or charcoal grill for direct grilling over medium-high heat. Make sure you brush your grill grate with some oil because fish has a tendency to stick. Another thing you could do is cook on cedar grilling planks.
Once your grill is heated and the grate is brushed with oil, brush both sides of the salmon fillet with a bit of olive oil. Place the fillet skin side down on the grill. Cover and grill for about 5 minutes.
While the salmon is cooking in a small bowl mix together the mayo and the Dijon mustard. In another small bowl mix the croutons and pecans together. After the salmon has cooked for 5 minutes spread the mayo mixture on the salmon and sprinkle on the crouton/pecan mixture. Grill for about another 1 to 2 minutes.
Once the salmon is done it will start flaking away with a fork, and the internal temperature will be 145F. You can take the internal temperature with an instant read thermometer like the one I use. Once it is done remove from the grill and serve.
As you can see pecan grilled salmon is a quick and easy grilled meal, that I’m sure you will love. Give it a try.
