• If you don't have bourbon, you can substitute it with apple juice or orange juice.
• To make the pecan crust extra crispy, broil the salmon for a minute or two at the end of baking.
• Serve the salmon with a side of roasted vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete meal.

Storage and Serving

• Leftover salmon can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
• To reheat, place the salmon in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes, or until warmed through.
• Serve the reheated salmon with a squeeze of lemon juice to refresh the flavors.
