Heat a small skillet over medium heat. Add the pecan halves and drizzle with 1 tbsp maple syrup and 1/8 tsp fine salt. Stir to coat and cook, stirring frequently, for 3–4 minutes until the syrup is absorbed and the pecans are fragrant and lightly caramelized. Transfer to a piece of parchment paper and spread in a single layer to cool completely, about 5 minutes.
