Baklava Salmon (Salmon With Honey, Butter, Walnuts, and Mustard)

One of my friends deemed this "Baklava Salmon" and the name stuck. The salmon & mustard go well with the honey, butter, and walnuts. We usually serve this with rice and steamed carrots or broccoli.
Ingredients:

• 1/4 cup butter
• 3 tablespoons whole grain mustard (or your favorite) or 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard (or your favorite)
• 1 1/2 tablespoons honey
• 1/4 cup dry breadcrumbs
• 1/4 cup walnuts or 1/4 cup pecans, finely chopped
• 4 teaspoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 4 (4 ounce) salmon fillets
• fresh ground pepper
• kosher salt
• 1/4 limes (optional) or 1 lemon (optional)

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 400°; Line shallow roasting pan with non-stick aluminum foil, or spray with non-stick pan spray.
2. In small bowl, blend butter, mustard, and honey, set aside; in another bowl, mix together bread crumbs, nuts, and parsley.
3. Place salmon fillets on prepared pan, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and brush with honey-mustard mixture; sprinkle tops with crumb/nut mixture; if any remains, press into sides of salmon.
4. Bake salmon 12-15 minutes in preheated oven, or until it flakes easily with a fork, serve with lime or lemon wedge.
