Baked Maple Salmon

The wife of my boss always jokes that she doesn’t cook. Mainly because her husband cooks so often , she has never needed to learn how. One day, per his instruction, she made this recipe. It was one of the best meals I had ever eaten at work or elsewhere. It’s a great recipe to cook for dinner guests so you can focus on socializing instead of prepping a difficult recipe in the kitchen.

 Maple and Herb Salmon.

  • 1 Salmon filet (like available at Costco)
  • Equal parts maple syrup and water (about 1/2 cup each)
  • Dried Dill or Rosemary

 

Smother entire Salmon (can do individual filets as well) with the Maple Syrup & Water solution and a generous amount of Dill or Rosemary so that it is evenly spread on both the top and bottom of the salmon.

 

Bake in foil covered baking dish at 400 degrees F for 30 minutes.

 

Slice and enjoy!
