Praline-Glazed Salmon
James Carrier
Paul Genaux was inspired to devise this recipe by his sister's description of a salmon dish she tried in New Orleans.
How to Make It
Step 1
1
Rinse salmon and pat dry. Sprinkle all over with salt and pepper. In a small bowl, mix pecans, brown sugar, butter, lemon juice, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
Step 2
2
Place salmon on a 12- by 15-inch baking sheet. Broil 6 inches from heat for 6 minutes. With a wide spatula, turn fish over. Spoon pecan mixture evenly over fish and broil again, checking frequently to be sure nuts do not scorch, until fish is opaque but still moist- looking in the center of the thickest part (cut to test), 1 to 2 minutes longer.
Step 3
3
With a wide spatula, transfer fish to serving plate.
