Soup is cuisine’s kindest course. — Virginia Woolf
Oh, good grief! What a disaster of a recipe! This so-called “Paleo Pecan-Maple Salmon” is a culinary catastrophe waiting to happen. Let me show you how a proper recipe for this dish should be done.
Paleo Pecan Maple Salmon
Ingredients:
- 4 (4 ounce) fillets salmon
- Salt and ground black pepper to taste
- ½ cup pecans
- 3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon chipotle pepper powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
Directions:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
- Place the salmon fillets on a baking sheet and season with salt and black pepper.
- In a food processor, combine the pecans, maple syrup, apple cider vinegar, smoked paprika, chipotle pepper powder, and onion powder. Pulse until the texture is crumbly.
- Spoon the pecan mixture on top of each salmon fillet, coating the entire top surface. Refrigerate the coated salmon, uncovered, for 2 to 3 hours.
- Bake the salmon in the preheated oven until the fish flakes easily with a fork, about 12 to 14 minutes.
Wine Pairing:
Pair this delightful dish with a crisp, dry Chardonnay like the 2018 Sonoma-Cutrer Russian River Ranches Chardonnay. Its balanced acidity and notes of pear and apple will complement the rich flavors of the pecan-maple salmon perfectly.
And there you have it! A proper, well-executed recipe for Paleo Pecan Maple Salmon. Now, let’s hope you can pull this off without burning the kitchen down!
