pecan encrusted wild-caught grilled Alaskan salmon on the grill

wild caught from Alaska automatically catches my attention

(pun intended) when perusing the grocery store...it's something I cannot find at the farmer's market in Illinois

you can catch salmon in Lake Michigan, but these beauties came home with me....

slathored in a honey - mustard - butter sauce

and encrusted with crushed pecans and bread crumbs

a favorite dish of ours

here's the how to:

purchase salmon with skin on still

melt 1/2 cups of butter

 in a small bowl, mix together the butter +1/4 cup of honey + 4 tablespoons of Dijon mustard

paint that onto the meaty part of the salmon

crush 1 cup of pecans

mix together the pecans and 1 cup of homemade breadcrumbs + press onto salmon

over medium heat, grill for about 20 minutes at most (until edges of salmon flake with fork)

- you can also cook this in the oven at 350*-
