Honey and Pecan-Glazed Salmon

If you’re looking for an easy dinner that’s actually healthy, this easy salmon recipe is for you! Salmon is rich in nutrients and is supposed to improve brain function.

INGREDIENTS

The marinade is made with three simple ingredients:

Salmon – fresh salmon is always best but Costco sells frozen salmon filets that I like too. Wild salmon has a fishier taste but is also a healthy protein option.
Honey – just a few tablespoons honey add enough sweetness to this dish.
Soy Sauce
Pecans

This Pecan and Honey Glazed Salmon is so easy and so good. We eat this salmon at least once every two weeks.

1/4
cup
honey
4
teaspoons
finely chopped pecans
1
Tablespoon
soy sauce
4
(6 oz )
salmon fillets
1/4
teaspoon
salt
1/4
teaspoon
black pepper

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
Combine honey, pecans, and soy sauce in a large zip-top bag. Sprinkle fish with salt and pepper; add to bag and seal. Marinate in refrigerator at least 15 minutes. I like to marinate mine all day so all that flavor gets infused.
Remove fish and nuts from bag, reserving marinade. Place fish on foil lined pan and top with nuts.
Bake at 425 degrees for 15 minutes or until fish flakes easily with a fork, basting fish twice with remaining glaze while baking.
