Salmon with Pecan Honey Glaze

4 servings
INGREDIENTS
1 cup pecan halves or pieces [112 g]
1 cup honey [380 g]
3/4 cup butter [170 g]
1/4 cup vegetable oil [50 g]
4 (6 ounce) fillets salmon [672 g]
salt and pepper to taste

DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spread pecans in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake 8 to 10 minutes, or until slightly browned. Stir 2 or 3 times to toast uniformly.

In a small saucepan over medium-high heat, combine honey with half of the butter. Stir in the toasted pecans, and cook for 8 to 10 minutes to infuse the flavors. Remove from heat, and keep warm.

Melt remaining butter with oil in a large skillet over high heat. Season fish with salt and pepper. Arrange fillets in skillet, and cook until firm to the touch, about 4 to 5 minutes per side. Salmon is done when it flakes easily with a fork. Transfer to serving plate, and spoon glaze over top.
