Bourbon-Brown Sugar Salmon With Onion Sauce

• 1 (2 1/4-pound) salmon fillet
• 3 cups thinly sliced onion
• 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
• 1/2 cup water
• 1/2 cup bourbon
• 1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 3/4 teaspoon salt
• 6 tarragon sprigs
• 4 thyme sprigs
• 1/3 cup nutlike cereal nuggets (such as Grape-Nuts)
• 1/4 cup chopped pecans
• Cooking spray
• 3/4 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons packed brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 1/2 teaspoons water

1. Place salmon in a 13 x 9-inch baking dish. Combine onion and the next 8 ingredients (onion through thyme); pour over salmon. Cover and marinate in refrigerator 2 hours, turning occasionally.
2. Preheat oven to 350u0b0.
3. Place cereal and pecans in a baking pan. Bake at 350u0b0 for 7 minutes or until toasted. Place mixture in a food processor; pulse 4 times or until finely chopped.
4. Remove salmon from marinade; reserve marinade. Arrange the salmon diagonally on a broiler pan coated with cooking spray. Sprinkle with 3/4 teaspoon salt. Combine 2 tablespoons of sugar, honey, and 1 1/2 teaspoons water, stirring with a whisk. Spread honey mixture over salmon; sprinkle with cereal mixture, gently pressing into salmon. Bake at 350u0b0 for 20 minutes or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork.
5. While salmon bakes, place reserved marinade in a small saucepan. Discard tarragon and thyme. Bring marinade to a boil over medium-high heat; cook until reduced to 3/4 cup (about 10 minutes). Serve sauce with salmon.
