Servings

4

Ingredients

  • 1 cup pecan halves or pieces
  • 1 cup honey
  • 3/4 cup butter
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 4 (6 ounce) fillets salmon
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 175°C. Spread pecans in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake 8 to 10 minutes, or until slightly browned. Stir 2 or 3 times to toast uniformly.
  2. In a small saucepan over medium-high heat, combine honey with half of the butter. Stir in the toasted pecans, and cook for 8 to 10 minutes to infuse the flavours. Remove from heat, and keep warm.
  3. Melt remaining butter with oil in a large skillet over high heat. Season fish with salt and pepper. Arrange fillets in skillet, and cook until firm to the touch, about 4 to 5 minutes per side. Salmon is done when it flakes easily with a fork. Transfer to serving plate, and spoon glaze over top.
