- 1 tbsp rosemary fresh, chopped
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder

- In a food processor, combine the pecans, rosemary, garlic powder, and salt. Process until the nuts are finely chopped.
- Pat the salmon dry and place skin-side down in the prepared baking dish. Brush the tops with the melted butter and sprinkle with the pecan mixture. Press down to adhere the mixture to the top of the salmon.
