Walnut Crusted Salmon

I love this recipe not only for its incredible flavor, but also because it takes 5 minutes to prepare it. Super crunchy crust and delicious lemon glaze make this salmon recipe epic!

Salmon and walnuts are both great source of omega - 3 fatty acids, so this recipe is not only delicious but super healthy!

I hope you enjoy it!
