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
- Preheat the oven to 400ºF.
- Rub the 4 salmon fillets with 1 teaspoon garlic powder, Kosher salt and pepper, and 1 tablespoon olive oil.
- Place the filets in a rectangular baking dish and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until flaky.
- 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.
- 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.
- Once the salmon is done baking, remove from the oven and spoon over the maple pecan glaze.
- 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.
