Pecan Crusted Salmon with Maple Bourbon Glaze is an easy and impressive dish that can double as a weeknight meal or a dinner party. On the table in 30 minutes!
We eat a lot of salmon in my house. It’s a great source of lean protein, and is rich with omega-3 fatty acids, Vitamin B12, and antioxidants. Salmon is such an easy way to eat healthily and deliciously.
I also love salmon fillets because they’re easy to prepare and cook quickly. When there’s salmon in the fridge, I have absolutely no excuse to not eat well because of a busy schedule.
Since we have at least one, sometimes two servings a week, I do have to be careful to not fall into a salmon recipe rut. So, I like to switch things up with different seasonings and sauces to keep our tastebuds happy.
This Pecan Crusted Salmon with Maple-Bourbon Glaze has been a fall favorite on our weeknight (and dinner party) rotation for the past couple of years. The crispy, toasted nut and panko crust and sweet-tangy glaze make for an impressive, restaurant-quality salmon dinner that takes just 30 minutes from prep to fork.
