• * 2 tablespoons butter or 2 tablespoons margarine, melted

• * 1/4 cup soft breadcrumbs
• * 1/4 cup finely chopped pecans
• * 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

Preparation

Step 1

Sprinkle salmon with salt and pepper; place, skin down, in a lightly greased 11-x7-x1 1/2-inch or 9-inch square baking dish.
