Maple and Walnut-Crusted Salmon

The following recipe, video and photography were provided by our partner, Chef Billy Parisi.

Maple syrup is not just for breakfast! Believe it or not, the sticky-sweet goodness is the perfect compliment to fresh salmon fillets!

Mixed with earthy walnuts and chili powder to create a sweet and spicy crust, this seasonal seafood supper is quick to make, impressive to serve and best enjoyed with rice!

    Very good salmon recipe. I had no walnuts so used pecans and also
    Molasses in stead of maple syrup.
    I think maple syrup would be better !
