Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces salmon fillets
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 1/2 cup pecans
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Lightly grease a baking dish or line it with parchment paper, and set aside.
Season the salmon fillets with salt and ground black pepper on both sides.
In a medium skillet over medium heat, melt the butter until fully liquefied.
Add the brown sugar and stir until it dissolves into the butter.
Stir in the maple syrup and heavy cream. Allow the mixture to cook for 2 minutes, stirring frequently.
Roughly chop the pecans and add them to the skillet. Stir until the glaze thickens slightly and pecans are coated, then remove from heat.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sear the salmon fillets for 2 minutes on each side until lightly browned. Remove and place them in the prepared baking dish.
Spoon the praline glaze generously over each salmon fillet, ensuring an even coating.
Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
Remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for 2 minutes. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired.
Serve immediately with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables or wild rice.
