Steps:
- In a medium saucepan, melt the butter. Stir in the maple syrup, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, and ground mustard. Stir over medium heat until the mixture is warmed through, 3-4 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool to room temperature.
- While the marinade is cooling, pour the pecans into a dry skillet and heat over medium heat, tossing frequently, until golden and toasted. Remove from heat; let the pecans cool to room temperature and then chop finely.
- Place the salmon fillets in a gallon-sized ziploc bag. Pour the maple marinade over the salmon, coating the salmon pieces evenly. Seal the bag and refrigerate for 30 minutes or up to 4 hours. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Line a baking sheet with foil and lightly spray with nonstick cooking spray.
- Place the toasted, chopped pecans on a plate or shallow pie dish. Remove the salmon from the refrigerator. Dip the top side of each salmon fillet in the pecan crumbs pressing the salmon lightly into the pecans so they adhere to the top of the salmon. Place the fillets pecan-side up on the prepared baking sheet.
- Sprinkle the salmon with a pinch of salt.
- Bake the salmon for 20-22 minutes until cooked through but still tender inside (not overcooked). The salmon should flake easily with a fork but still be soft and not dry. Serve immediately with fresh lemon wedges.
Tips:
- Choose fresh, high-quality ingredients: Use the best salmon fillet you can find, and make sure the pecans are fresh and not rancid. Fresh herbs and lemon zest will also add a lot of flavor to the dish.
- Don't overcook the salmon: Salmon is a delicate fish that can easily be overcooked. Cook it until it is just opaque in the center, about 4-5 minutes per side. If you overcook it, it will become dry and tough.
- Use a good quality wild rice: Wild rice is a delicious and healthy grain that pairs well with salmon. Make sure to cook it according to the package directions.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with the flavors: This recipe is a great starting point, but you can feel free to add other spices and herbs to taste. For example, you could add a teaspoon of smoked paprika or cumin to the pecan crust, or you could use a different type of citrus zest, such as orange or grapefruit.
Conclusion:
Apple pecan crusted salmon over wild rice is a delicious and healthy dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. The salmon is moist and flaky, the pecan crust is flavorful and crunchy, and the wild rice is nutty and satisfying. This dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
