How to Make Grilled Salmon With Pecan Butter
- Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
- **Make the Pecan Butter:** In a small mixing bowl, combine 1/2 cup pecan halves, 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, softened, 2 tablespoons maple syrup, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Beat with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
- Set aside.
- Pat 2 (6-ounce) salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Brush both sides with 1 tablespoon olive oil and season generously with salt and pepper.
- Place salmon fillets on the preheated grill. Grill for 4-5 minutes per side, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).
- Transfer the grilled salmon to dinner plates or a serving platter.
- Top each salmon fillet with a generous dollop of pecan butter.
- Serve immediately. Pass the remaining pecan butter for guests to add more if desired.
