Simply make a pecan coating and rub it on the top of a few salmon filets. If you love salmon, you’ll want to try my Grilled Salmon recipe.

    Where do you find Granulated Maple Sugar:

    Granulated Maple Sugar is the granulated form of pure maple syrup. Find it at sugar houses’ and farms in New England. Otherwise  find it on Amazon.

    Substitute granulated maple sugar for equal parts in any recipe that calls for granulated sugar. It gives you a touch of maple taste and is a raw sugar.
