Dijon Pecan Baked Salmon (Gluten-Free & Grain-Free)

You probably already know how much we love salmon in this house from my previous blog posts. We love the taste and the fact that it is so good for you. My husband was worried that I wouldn’t be able to fix his favorite salmon recipe since we gave up eating wheat. No fears, it is not a problem! His favorite recipe is the Baked Dijon Salmon over at allrecipes.com. Not only did I remove the wheat and gluten, but I also lightened it up a bit too. It still tastes like the salmon recipe we know and love.
