Description

A deliciously glazed salmon recipe featuring a sweet and nutty maple pecan glaze.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 salmon fillets, skin on or skinless
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Kosher salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Glaze:
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil, or avocado oil
  • 2/3 cup pecans, chopped
  • 1/3 cup maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400ºF.
  2. Rub the 4 salmon fillets with 1 teaspoon garlic powder, Kosher salt and pepper, and 1 tablespoon olive oil.
  3. Place the filets in a rectangular baking dish and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until flaky.
  4. Meanwhile, in a small pan, heat the 1 tablespoon olive oil for the glaze over medium heat. Add the 2/3 cup pecans and cook, stirring often, until they start to darken, around 3-4 minutes.
  5. Add the 1/3 cup maple syrup, 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar, and 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard. Allow the sauce to bubble for 3-4 minutes, until it thickens to coat the back of a spoon.
  6. Once the salmon is done baking, remove from the oven and spoon over the maple pecan glaze.
  7. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired.

Notes

  • Adjust the amount of garlic powder based on preference.
  • Make sure to monitor the pecans while toasting to prevent burning.
  • This dish pairs well with steamed vegetables or rice.
