Honey Pecan Crusted Salmon

This is a recipe I have been making for people for over 12 years. It’s a favorite of family members, and I have repeatedly asked for the recipe. I realized it wasn’t on the blog and decided I needed to change it immediately.

It’s a straightforward recipe, but the flavor combination makes it a crowd-pleaser. A few family members do not love salmon, but they always eat this dish when I make it. It had been a while since I had made this dish, and I had forgotten how good it was. I ate this for breakfast a few days because I was so excited I couldn’t wait.
