Equipment

Ingredients

4 4 oz skinless wild salmon fillets (fillets can be up to 6 ounces each)
1 ½ cups milk
⅔ cup finely chopped pecans
¼ cup flour
2 Tbsp brown sugar
1 tsp seasoning salt
½ tsp pepper
2 Tbsp olive oil

Instructions

Soak salmon in milk for at least 10 minutes. Drain and discard the milk.
Line a cookie sheet with foil and spray with cooking spray. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Mix pecans, flour, brown sugar, seasoning salt, and pepper in a shallow container.
Completely coat the salmon filets in the pecan mixture.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Brown each side of the salmon for about 2 minutes.
Place each piece of salmon on the prepared cookie sheet. Bake at 400° for about 10 minutes or till salmon flakes easily.

Notes

Soaking the salmon in milk gets rid of some of the "fishy" taste and helps it taste fresh. It also helps the pecan mixture adhere to the salmon.
Your salmon may take more or less time to bake depending on thickness. Check it at 8 minutes to make sure it doesn't get overcooked.
