Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil. Place a wire rack on top of the foil-lined baking sheet.
Pat the salmon filets dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture. This helps the maple syrup and pecan crust adhere better.
Make the Maple Yogurt Mixture:
Combine 1/2 cup of plain Greek yogurt with 1/4 cup of pure maple syrup into the bowl. Stir well.
Spread a generous layer of the maple yogurt mixture over the top of each salmon filet.
Add breadcrumbs, pecans, brown sugar, dried thyme, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper in another bowl. Stir until all ingredients are well incorporated.
Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of the pecan breadcrumb mixture evenly over the top of each salmon filet. Press down gently to ensure the crust adheres well to the maple syrup layer.
Lightly spray the top of each salmon filet with canola oil to help the crust achieve a golden.
Place the prepared salmon filets on the wire rack in the oven. Bake at 425 degrees Fahrenheit for 8 to 10 minutes
Serve and Enjoy!
