Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
In a small bowl, mix together the maple syrup, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until well combined.
Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet, skin-side down.
Drizzle olive oil over the salmon fillets and rub it in gently.
Generously brush the maple glaze over each salmon fillet, ensuring they are well-coated.
Evenly distribute the chopped pecans on top of the glazed salmon, pressing them down gently so they stick.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
If desired, switch to the broiler for the last 2-3 minutes to caramelize the glaze and pecans further.
Once done, remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes.
Sprinkle with fresh parsley for a pop of color before serving.
