Ingredients
- 4 salmon filets
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- kosher salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tbsp olive oil
Glaze:
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2/3 cup pecans chopped
- 1/3 cup maple syrup
- 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400ºF.
- Rub the salmon filets all over with garlic powder, salt, pepper, and 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 oil for the glaze over medium heat. Add the pecans and cook, stirring often, until it starts to darken, around 3-4 minutes.
- Add the maple syrup, vinegar, and 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
- Storing leftovers: Store leftover salmon in an airtight container in the fridge. It will keep fresh for up to about 3 to 4 days.
- To reheat: Place salmon in a dish, in the oven for about 10 minutes at 300 degrees Fahrenheit. This will help keep the outside crispy but the inside tender and flaky!
