Ingredients

  • 3 cups California walnuts

  • 6 tablespoons dry bread crumbs

  • 6 tablespoons finely grated lemon zest

  • 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

  • 3 tablespoons chopped fresh dill

  • salt and pepper to taste

  • 12 (3 ounce) skin-on salmon fillets

  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

  • ¼ cup fresh lemon juice

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. Place walnuts into a food processor and pulse to coarsely chop. Add bread crumbs, lemon zest, olive oil, and dill; pulse until crumbly and mixture sticks together. Season with salt and pepper.

  3. Arrange salmon fillets, skin-side down, on the prepared baking sheets. Brush the tops with mustard. Spoon 1/3 cup of the walnut-bread crumb mixture over each fillet; gently press the crumb mixture into the surface of the fish. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours.

  4. Discard plastic wrap and bake in the preheated oven until fish flakes with a fork, 15 to 20 minutes. Sprinkle lemon juice over fillets just before serving.
