Preparation

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Cover a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, add pecans, maple syrup and paprika and season with salt and pepper. Toss. Pour on the baking tray and spread well.
  • Place in the oven and cook for 15 to 20 minutes. Stir halfway. Remove from oven and let cool for 15 minutes. Chop finely and set aside.
  • Place the salmon on a large baking sheet covered with parchment paper. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, add the rest of the ingredients (except for the pork rinds), season with salt and pepper and mix. Brush the salmon generously with the sauce.
  • Place the salmon in the oven and cook for about 25 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked and the meat flakes easily with a fork. Brush the fish generously and regularly.
  • Place the pork rinds on an aluminum plate and place in the oven when there is about 8 minutes left to cook the salmon.
  • Remove the fish out of the oven, bury with pecans and garnish with pork rinds to taste! Accompany with a light to balance everything.
