HONEY MUSTARD NUT CRUSTED SALMON

Steps:

On a salad plate, mix together the nuts, breadcrumbs, cheese, and parsley. Brush tops of salmon fillets with mustard mixture, and then coat tops with crumb mixture; place coated sides up in a shallow baking dish or broiling pan. Bake for 15 minutes on a rack near the top of the oven. Turn toaster oven to broil and then broil for 3-5 minutes, or until browned, watching closely so as not to burn. Makes 4 servings.
