Ingredients:
½ cup walnut pieces

4 lemon wedges
Procedure:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Grind the walnuts, potato chips, lemon zest, dill, and olive oil together in a food processor or blender until crumbly.
- Divide the salmon into four pieces and place them skin side down in a baking dish, with at least one inch of space between each piece. Spread mustard over the salmon. Spoon the crumb mixture over the filets and pat the crumbs down gently with a fork into a thick layer. Salt and pepper if desired.
- Bake for 15 minutes, or until fish flakes apart easily with a fork. Garnish with lemon wedges and serve immediately.
