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.
SIMPLE SIMON MAPLE SALMON WITH PECANS
I have to really be in the mood for fish to tolerate it, especially ocean fish, as it always tastes WAY too "fishy" to me! So one night I came up with this, after searching tons of salmon recipes. No super expensive maple syrup needed, not too sweet with a little kick in the back, and about as easy-peasy as it gets!! Hope you...

Steps:
- 1. Cut salmon into serving-sized pieces, crosswise, about 3 inches wide or however you prefer. In small bowl, whisk rest of ingredients (except pecans) until well mixed. Put salmon pieces and maple mixture into a shallow dish or ziploc baggie to marinate. *Refrigerate while marinating. *I only got to marinate mine for about 5 hours, but next time, I'm going to marinate them overnight. Still good, but overnight would be even better! When ready to cook, remove from fridge, and remove salmon pieces from baggie saving the marinade. Place salmon into a greased/sprayed shallow baking dish, skin-side down. (I used a 13x9 and it fit really well.) Pour/spoon just a little marinade over each piece and pop into a pre-heated 375 degree oven. Pour the rest of the marinade into a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat a tad, but keep at a nice steady boil, and stir occaisionally. Bake salmon for 30-35 minutes, depending on thickness, til done and flakes easily with a fork. *Halfway through baking the fish, carefully spoon a little more marinade over the fish. Not from the saucepan, but from the baking dish. Keep the marinade in the saucepan boiling to reduce til thickened. When fish is done, remove from oven and baste with juices again while you get everything else done and ready. If adding pecans, stir into saucepan of reduced marinade just before serving, or sprinkle on top of fish during last 1-2 minutes of baking. 2-3 minutes if wanting to do pecan halves. (Just watch so that they don't burn.) Plate the fish and pour your thickened sauce over the top. (I served even more of it in tiny bowls for dipping! )We had this with my buttery herbed rice and what a great dinner! Nothing else was even needed! (The sauce was great over the rice, too!)

SIMPLE SIMON MAPLE SALMON
I have to reeeaaallly be in the mood for fish to tolerate it, especially salmon, as it always tastes WAY too "fishy" to me! So last night I came up with this, after searching tons of salmon recipes. No super expensive maple syrup needed, not too sweet with a little kick in the back, and about as easy-peasy as it gets!! Hope you like it as much as we did! (I was shocked that I liked it so much!!) I had 3 lbs. of it, but this can easily be cut in half if you have less fish....but you'll want more guaranteed!!! (We ate HALF of it last night just the two of us! LOL) *Times do not include marinating time.

Tips:
- When choosing salmon fillets, look for ones that are firm and have a bright, vibrant color. Avoid fillets that are dull or have any signs of bruising or discoloration.
- To ensure that the salmon is cooked evenly, use a thick, heavy-bottomed skillet. This will help to distribute the heat evenly and prevent the salmon from sticking.
- Do not overcrowd the skillet when cooking the salmon. This will cause the salmon to steam and not brown properly.
- Be sure to cook the salmon over medium heat. This will help to prevent the fish from drying out.
- To test if the salmon is cooked, insert a fork into the thickest part of the fillet. If the salmon flakes easily, it is done.
- When making the maple glaze, be sure to use real maple syrup. This will give the glaze a rich, delicious flavor.
- To add a touch of crunch to the salmon, top it with chopped pecans before serving.
Conclusion:
This simple salmon recipe is a delicious and healthy way to enjoy this versatile fish. The maple glaze adds a touch of sweetness and richness, while the pecans add a crunchy texture. This dish is perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion dinner. Serve it with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.
