Pecan Maple Crusted Salmon
Ingredients
  • 4 (4 ounce) fillets salmon
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup pecans
  • 3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon chipotle pepper powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
Instructions
1
Position the salmon fillets on a baking sheet and sprinkle with salt and black pepper to enhance flavor.
2
In a food processor, blend together pecans, maple syrup, vinegar, paprika, chipotle powder, and onion powder until you achieve a crumbly consistency. Evenly distribute the pecan mixture on top of each salmon fillet, covering the entire surface area. Place the coated salmon in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 hours, allowing it to marinate.
3
Heat your oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C), the ideal temperature for cooking the salmon.
4
Place the coated salmon in the preheated oven and bake until it flakes easily with a fork, requiring 12 to 14 minutes of cooking time.
