Preheat the oven to 400°F and oil a baking sheet. 2. Place the salmon fillets skin side down on the oiled pan. 3. In a food processor, combine the breadcrumbs, walnuts, mustard, and honey. Process until well combined, scraping the sides as necessary. 4. Use a spatula to spread the walnut crust in an even layer on top of the salmon.
