Ingredients

4 (4 ounce) fillets salmon
salt and ground black pepper to taste
0.5 cup pecans
3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
0.5 teaspoon chipotle pepper powder
0.5 teaspoon onion powder

Instructions

Place salmon fillets on a baking sheet and season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
In a food processor, combine pecans, pure maple syrup, apple cider vinegar, smoked paprika, chipotle powder, and onion powder; pulse until the mixture is crumbly. Evenly spoon the pecan mixture onto each salmon fillet, ensuring the entire top surface is coated. Refrigerate the coated salmon, uncovered, for 2 to 3 hours to allow the flavors to meld.
Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C) for optimal baking.
Bake in the preheated oven until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily when tested with a fork, approximately 12 to 14 minutes. Serve immediately and enjoy!
