Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup walnut halves
4 skin-on salmon fillets (6 ounces each), pin bones removed
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons ground flaxseed
8 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon raw honey
3 cups seedless red grapes, halved
1/2 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
2 scallions, thinly sliced

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350˚. Place the walnuts on a sheet pan and cook until lightly toasted, about 8 minutes. Transfer the walnuts to a cutting board and when cool enough to handle, roughly chop and set aside.
  • Increase the oven temperature to 400˚. Line a sheet pan with foil. Using paper towels, pat the fish fillets dry. Evenly coat each salmon fillet with 1/2 tablespoon of the mustard. Season the fillets on all sides with salt and pepper and then sprinkle 1/2 tablespoon of the flaxseed on top of each piece of fish, gently pressing them into the flesh. Place the fish on the lined sheet pan and drizzle each fillet with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil. Transfer to the oven and bake until the fish reaches an internal temperature of 125˚, about 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, whisk together the remaining 4 tablespoons olive oil, the vinegar and honey. Season with a pinch of salt and a twist of black pepper. Add the walnuts, grapes, parsley and scallions and toss together.
  • When the fish is done, remove it from the oven, top each piece with a generous amount of salsa and serve.

The salsa was a bit too chunky for my taste. I think I would have preferred it if it had been blended until smooth.

I thought the salmon was a bit overcooked. I think I should have cooked it for a shorter amount of time.

I had some trouble getting the flaxseed crust to stick to the salmon. I think I might have used too much oil. Other than that, the dish was delicious.

This recipe was a bit too bland for my taste. I think it could have used more seasoning. The salsa was also a bit too sweet for my liking.
