Front Burner

I absolutely love trying new and different salmon recipes. It's one of my most favorite fish to eat, the kids love it and it has so many healthy benefits. But while this one is definitely a keeper, my favorite is still a brown sugar cured, slow cooked version which I will post at a later date. For now, enjoy this one... as everyone at my table did.

Orange-Pecan Salmon

1 cup chopped pecans, toasted
1 cup orange marmalade
1/2 cup reduced sodium soy sauce
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
4 salmon fillets (6 oz each and 1 in. thick)

In a small bowl, combine the first 5 ingredients. Pour one cup marinade into a large resealable plastic bag. Add the salmon; seal bag and turn to coat. Refrigerate for up to 30 minutes. Set aside remaining marinade.

Drain and discard marinade from salmon. Place salmon in a greased 11x7-in. baking dish. Bake, uncovered, at 350 for 20 minutes or until fish flakes easily with a fork.

In a small saucepan, bring reserved marinade to a boil; cook until liquid is reduced to 3/4 cup. Serve with salmon.
