Glazed Salmon

By cam_46

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup apple cider (substitute: 1/2 cup apple juice or 1/2 cup dry white wine)
• 1 1/4 Tbl honey
• 1/4 cup chopped pecans
• 4 skinless salmon fillets
• 1 teas olive oil
• salt & pepper to taste
• 2 lemons, cut in half

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350F. Place the salmon fillets in a baking dish in one layer.
In a saucepan, over medium-high heat, bring the cider and honey to a boil, and let the mixture bubble until it reduces by half.
Pour the cider over the salmon, then let it sit for 10 minutes.
Heat the oil in a large, oven-safe skillet on medium high. Sprinkle the flesh side of a salmon with salt & pepper, then place the fillets on the pan. Cook for 2 minutes, brushing the tops of the fillets with the cider glaze so the fish begins to caramelize.
Turn the salmon fillets. Mix the crushed pecans with the remaining cider glaze and fresh black pepper to taste. Brush the tops of the fillets with the remaining pecan and cider glaze. Add the lemon halves to the skillet, then transfer the skillet to the oven. Bake for 6-8 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily.
