👨‍🍳 Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

Cut salmon into smaller, equal-sized portions if needed.

Season with salt and pepper.

Mix mayonnaise, garlic, dill, and lemon juice together in a bowl.

Season with salt.

Place the pecans in a food processor.

Pulse for 1 second and check the size of the pieces.

You want it to be not quite powdery, but still with some larger chunks.

Continue to pulse in 1-second bursts until desired consistency is achieved.

Place the salmon on a baking sheet.

Layer the top of the salmon with aioli, then with pecans, until completely covered.
