Honey and Pecan Glazed Salmon

Well folks, it's good to be back.  Super Storm Sandy knocked us off the grid for a solid week, with power out for a complete seven days.  I am happy to report no real damage to our house or our family's houses.  We lost some trees in our backyard and the power was out for longer than we really enjoyed, but we had no damage.  We continually remind ourselves it could have been a lot worse.  Our thoughts and prayers go out to those who suffered and are suffering.

Now then... tonight I finally got back in the kitchen!  (Thank you to my mother-in-law who had power one day earlier than us and had us for dinner last night.)  Both the husband and I made separate grocery runs today to start and restock our now-freshly-emptied-and-deep-cleaned refrigerator, so we had goods to cook up something delicious.  Not only that, but it's time to get back into the heathy kick.  One week of boiling pasta on the stovetop in the dark and snacking on pantry items means back to the gym and back to the diets.

And to the hubs's request, fish was on the menu tonight.  This easy salmon recipe takes minutes to prepare, takes no time to bake, and has a slightly sweet, but not over-powering flavor.  The pecans give a little crunch and the fish comes out perfectly flaky.  A winner for my first night back in the kitchen.
