My family loves the taste of this! The pecan/sugar/flour coating makes this fish yummy!

I used pecan cookie pieces which made the prep pretty easy. It was very simple and tasy... only issue is the nutrition. However, that just means this is something I would make for company but not just any weeknight.

This has become one of my family's favorite dinners--even my mother will request "that special salmon" when she comes for a visit. We pair it with a three-rice pilaf and caesar salad, and it is wonderful!
