Let me reveal the secret of a perfectly cooked salmon with honey pecan sauce, for you to relish.

Ingredients

  • ½ cup honey
  • ¼ cup chopped toasted pecans
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 4 (5 ounces) salmon fillets
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 halved lemon

Instructions

  • You need to start with a honey-pecan sauce. It is super easy to make and tastes divine.
  • You will take ½ cup of honey and add ¼ cup of chopped toasted pecans. Mix them well.
  • Then, add 2 tablespoons of soy sauce to the sauce to give it a tang. Mix till all ingredients are fully combined.
  • Now, you need to brush the above honey-pecan sauce on the salmon fillets. Brush them with generous amounts of sauce.
  • Marinate the salmon for at least 30 minutes.
  • Now, you will have to add 2 tablespoons of butter in a pan on medium-low flame.
  • As the butter melts, place a fillet over it and cook for 4 to 5 minutes on each side till a golden-brown crust forms.
  • Cook the other three fillets in the same fashion. If you have any left-over honey pecan sauce, you can drizzle it over now.
  • Dish out the golden-crusted salmon fillets, and sprinkle them with 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1 teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper.
  • Splash a dash of lemon over the fish. The lemon is optional, but it will add to the overall flavor, balancing the sweet and savory nuances of the dish.
  • This is a super easy and fast way to make salmon with honey pecan sauce.
