This Whole30 Pecan Crusted Salmon is so delicious + simple with just 4 ingredients. It’s quick to cook, stays moist and is Paleo + Low Carb too!

Can I let you in on something really sad? My husband doesn’t eat fish. I KNOW. It’s literally one of my favourite foods in the entire world. And so, on a rare occasion, when I decide to splurge on fish for myself, I always go salmon. Wild salmon is my all time favourite protein + this Whole30 Pecan Crusted Salmon is one of the best ways I’ve ever found to make it.

This salmon comes together in minutes + has the most incredible zesty crunch on the outside with a tender, flaky inside. I don’t know what there is not to like. It’s perfect – oh, and it’s Paleo, Whole30 + Keto which means nearly any dietary preference can enjoy this baby.

Winner, winner salmon dinner! Let’s get into it:

What you’ll need for this Whole30 Pecan Crusted Salmon

Throwing this salmon together is so quick + that’s largely because of the tiny ingredient list. Here’s what you’ll need:

Wild salmon – feel free to use any salmon you can get your hands on, I just prefer wild – it’s more nutrient dense + has a more sustainable supply chain. But anything works. Feel free to use a salmon side like I did here or to use a group of smaller fillets.
Avocado Oil Mayonnaise – Just 2 tablespoons! Feel free to use any mayo you love.
Mustard: Whole grain is preferable, but dijon works too!
Pecans
Salt + Pepper

I know it might seem like there aren’t enough ingredients here to make something fabulous, but I promise that story is FALSE. This salmon packs so much flavour, texture and satisfaction. Like I said, this Whole30 Pecan Crusted Salmon is perfect.

Putting this meal together

If the ingredient list wasn’t proof enough that this meal is the simplest, I promise the steps to prepping it are EVEN easier.

Season the salmon.
Mix the mustard + mayo + spread over the salmon.
Sprinkle pecans + bake!

That’s literally it! It’s basically the meal time dream with minimal effort + maximum payouts. If you’re a busy momma or getting home from a long day of work, this is totally the type of meal you’d be able to throw on the table without even really thinking about it.

To make this salmon into a meal, I love to serve it up with some sides like my Paleo Salt + Vinegar Magic Potatoes or with a big ole plate of my Harvest Hash. It would be SO GOOD on top of a salad or with some simple green beans or roasted broccoli.

This Whole30 Pecan Crusted Salmon is an ideal weeknight meal, but it’s also beautiful enough to serve when your friends come over. It will keep in the fridge for a day or two, but I’ll be surprised if you have leftovers 😉
