Salmon with Bourbon-Pecan Glaze is coated in a wonderfully crunchy, sweet and spicy glaze. Serve with asparagus for a deliciously healthy and easy meal.

 
This amazing salmon recipe can be made start to finish in under 20 minutes. The salmon first gets seared in a hot pan, then coated with the pecan glaze and transfered to the oven where it finishes cooking.
You’ll need an oven-safe skillet for this recipe, either stainless steel or cast iron. If you don’t have either of these, you can transfer the salmon to a baking dish. If you don’t preheat the baking dish, it will take a little longer to cook the salmon.
The glaze is a simple mixture of brown sugar, bourbon, soy sauce, ground mustard, cayenne pepper, and pecans. It is wonderfully sweet, savory, and crunchy with just the right amount of bourbon flavor. The pecans develop such a fantastic buttery crunch in the oven.
 
What to serve with Salmon with Bourbon-Pecan Glaze:

Asparagus
Steamed broccoli
Rice Pilaf
Slow Cooker Garlic Parmesan Potatoes

It’s very easy to cook asparagus right in the pan with the salmon. Just add the asparagus to the pan right before you put the pan in the oven. The asparagus will get coated in the glaze and it tastes so good!
