Instructions
Toast pecans over medium-high heat, stirring often until lightly browned and fragrant. Let cool, chop and set aside.
In a small bowl, stir together maple syrup, orange zest, rosemary, salt and pumpkin pie spice.
Pour mixture over salmon in a shallow baking dish. Marinate in fridge 1 to 4 hours, rotating halfway.
Preheat oven to 400° F. Place salmon on a foil or parchment lined baking sheet skin side down. Discard extra marinade and top salmon with orange slices. Bake 8-12 minutes, depending on thickness, until center is cooked and meat flakes with a fork.
Top with roasted pecans and salt to taste if needed. Serve immediately.
Notes
To save time you can skip marinating and simply pour glaze over salmon then roast, but it won't be as flavorful
Roasting on foil or parchment makes for easy cleanup. Discard it after roasting and give baking sheet a light clean.
Try adding veggies to bake at the same time as the salmon, such as asparagus, tomato, zucchini, cauliflower or broccoli
