I'm allergic to nuts, so I substituted crushed Ritz crackers for the walnuts in the crust. It turned out great!

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover walnuts. I had some extra from a baking project, and they worked perfectly in the crust.

I added a squeeze of lemon juice to the salmon before baking, and it really brightened up the flavor.

The walnut crust was a bit too thick for my taste, but the salmon was cooked perfectly. Next time I'll try using less walnuts.

I followed the recipe exactly, and my salmon came out dry and overcooked. I'm not sure what went wrong.
