Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 4-6 ounce fresh salmon filets
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/3 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1/3 cup chopped pecans
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 tablespoon oil for frying (,add more as needed)
  • For the Bacon Fat Maple Glaze:
  • 3 tablespoons bacon fat
  • 3 tablespoons maple syrup ((not pure maple syrup, we want the added sweetness))

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Lightly rub or spray the salmon filets with some olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  • Combine the panko breadcrumbs, pecans and parsley in a bowl and spread the mixture out on a flat wide plate. Roll each salmon filet in the mixture and sprinkle some extra on top. Spray each breaded filet with some olive oil.
  • Heat the oil in a non-stick frying pan and fry the filets on each side for 1-2 minutes, starting with the skin side up.
  • Transfer the filets to a baking dish and bake for another 8-10 minutes or until done.
  • While the salmon is baking make the glaze: Melt the bacon fat in a small saucepan followed by the maple syrup. Simmer for about 2 minutes, be careful not to let it burn.
  • Serve the salmon immediately drizzled with some of the glaze and garnished with some fresh parsley and toasted pecans.
