Crunchy Walnut Salmon

Crunchy Walnut Salmon is a delightful blend of tender salmon topped with a crisp, flavorful walnut crust. The combination of Dijon mustard, lemon juice, and garlic creates a zesty layer beneath the nutty topping, while the oven-baked walnuts add texture and richness to the dish. It’s a simple yet gourmet meal that is both healthy and delicious.
