Pecan Glazed Salmon

Now, if you recognize any theme within my recipes it's "easy". I love food, I love to cook, but I (like everyone else I know), don't have all day. So if you like salmon, or better yet if you don't, give this recipe a try. I'm sure you'll love not only the taste, but also how little effort it takes! (Don't tell Tom.)

BrownSugarPecan Glazed Salmon

Ingredients:

1/4 cup coarsely chopped pecans (or any type of nut)

1/4 cup dark brown sugar

1/4 cup butter or margarine (I use light marg)

1-2 tbsp water

2 salmon steaks

Preparation:

1) Preheat oven to 425

2) Brown the pecans in a non-stick pan, over medium heat.


Add brown sugar, butter/margarine, and water; heat until simmering. Set aside.

3) In a pie plate, roast salmon in pre-heated oven for 6 minutes.

4) Spoon glaze over salmon and continue roasting for an additional 6 minutes.

5) Voila, you're done!

See? Super easy! Of course you can use salmon fillets instead of steaks if you wish, but remember that cooking times vary according to the thickness of your fish. Be sure to always cook your fish until the flesh flakes easily with a fork.

I love this recipe. Why? Not only are they a fantastic way to increase your fish intake (Health Canada recommends 2 servings per week) and boost your body's omega-3s, but your husband will be so distracted by the goodness, he won't realize it's not beef!
