Maple-Bourbon Glazed Salmon

Category: Seafood

1/3 cup pure maple syrup or maple-flavored syrup
1/3 cup orange juice
3 Tbsp. bourbon whiskey or orange juice
4 4- to 5-oz. skinless, salmon fillets
1/4 cup coarsely chopped pecans or walnuts
Directions
1. Preheat broiler. For syrup glaze, in a small saucepan combine maple syrup, orange juice, and whiskey. Cook, uncovered, over medium heat while preparing salmon.

2. Lightly sprinkle salmon with salt and pepper. Place on a lightly greased broiler pan. Broil 3 to 4 inches from heat for 5 minutes. Remove 2 tablespoons glaze and brush on all sides of salmon. Turn salmon and broil 5 minutes longer or until salmon flakes easily when tested with a fork.

3. Stir pecans into remaining glaze; heat on high for about 5 minutes or until glaze reaches the consistency of syrup. Serve salmon topped with pecan syrup. Makes 4 servings.
