nuts for salmon: pecan crusted salmon with sauteed spinach and lemon green beans

>> Sunday, October 11, 2009



first off, sorry for the delay in this post. it was my intention to write this post friday afternoon before i left for va tech, but my afternoon turned into shambles when i locked myself out of the house for over 40 minutes. my b. i made this meal as part of my original weekly meal plan. it took no time to whip up and it was a definite crowd pleaser.

ingredients:
1 bag of 10 oz spinach
1 tablespoon butter
1/3 cup chopped tomatoes
1 garlic clove, minced
3 cups of green beans
1/2 lemon
4 tablespoons of dijon mustard
4 6oz salmon filets
1/2 cup chopped pecans
evoo
s&p

directions:
heat oven to 350 degrees. brush mustard over salmon filets and press chopped pecans down to make sure they are sticking. heat skillet with evoo over medium high heat. place salmon pecan-side down in pan and sear for 3 minutes. transfer salmon to oven and let cook for 5-7 minutes.

steam green beans in vegetable steamer. once done, drizzle with juice of half a lemon, 1 tablespoon of evoo and s&p.

in another pan heat up butter, 1 tablespoon of evoo, garlic and tomatoes. let cook for about 3 minutes and then add bag of spinach. cover pan and let cook for about 3 more minutes. add s&p and you're done.

i tried to take a picture of the delicious meal, but mine and peg's camera batteries died. i've found one that looks pretty similar. enjoy!
