Maple Pecan Crusted Salmon

Ingredients:

3 lb. salmon fillet
3 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup pure maple syrup
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
Sprinkle of salt & pepper
2 tablespoons stone ground mustard
1 cup raw pecans, finely chopped (or chopped in a food processor)

Directions:

In a small saucepan, melt butter on medium heat. Stir in maple syrup, Worcestershire sauce, salt & pepper and remove from heat. Allow mixture to cool. Place salmon fillets in a ziplock bag with butter maple mixture and refrigerate for 1 hour.

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Remove salmon fillets from fridge and place on a baking sheet lined with foil. Season top of salmon with salt & pepper. Brush mustard on fillets and spoon chopped pecans on top, pressing down so they adhere to the fish.

Bake salmon for 20 minutes until salmon is cooked through and pecans are golden.
