Walnut Crusted Salmon with Green Bean and Pea Salad

Prep Time25 minutes
Cook Time25 minutes
Servings: 2 people

Ingredients

Salmon

  • 2 salmon filets
  • 1/2 cup walnuts, chopped
  • Zest from 1 lemon
  • 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • Salt and pepper

Green Bean and Pea Salad

  • 2 cups green beans
  • 1 cup peas
  • 1/2 cup mayo
  • 2 tbsp white wine vinegar
  • Salt and pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • To make the topping for the salmon, combine chopped walnuts, chopped green onions, lemon zest, and salt and pepper.
  • Whisk Dijon mustard and honey together in a small bowl. Using a spoon or a meat brush, spread mustard and honey over the top of the salmon.
  • Put walnut topping all over the top of the salmon (don't be afraid to liberally pack it on top.)
  • Bake the salmon (skin on) for 20-25 minutes, until flaky.
  • While the salmon bakes, steam the frozen peas and green beans until both are cooked but firm (I put them both in a bowl with water and microwave them, but there is definitely a more sophisticated method to do this.)
  • With all excess water drained out of the bowl, mix mayo, mustard, and vinegar in with the veggies until coated throughout. Top with salt and pepper.
  • Serve the salmon over the green bean and pea salad. Great with white wine :)
