Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces salmon fillets
- 0.25 cups maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 0.5 cups pecans, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 4 pieces lemon wedges
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle them evenly with salt and black pepper.
In a small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, Dijon mustard, soy sauce, minced garlic, and melted butter until well combined.
Spoon the maple syrup mixture over each salmon fillet, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Sprinkle the chopped pecans evenly over the top of the salmon, gently pressing them into the glaze so they adhere.
Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Cooking time may vary slightly depending on the thickness of the fillets.
Remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for 2 minutes before serving.
Serve warm with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the top. Pair with your favorite side dishes such as roasted vegetables or rice for a complete meal.
