Maple Glazed Salmon
This maple glazed salmon recipe is so easy, and it is truly satisfying. The salmon takes less than 15 minutes to cook and goes great over a green salad or alongside roasted veggies. Marinating the fish flesh side down for a few hours or overnight will create a beautiful glaze when it cooks! The end result reminds me of a perfectly smoked salmon, with a savory candy glaze on the outside, and a moist filet that flakes perfectly on the inside. I love serving this alongside my Oven Roasted Broccoli.
