Maple Soy Salmon

My Maple Soy Salmon recipe is even easier than my "fan favorite" salmon! I really like making salmon for dinner because people are so impressed when they see salmon and it's much easier to cook than most meats. Make the sauce (2 ingredients), marinate for 30 minutes, place on foil lined baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes. That's it, I mean does it get any easier than that!?


The real reason why I make salmon is simple: 1) it's healthy, gotta get those omega 3's when you can 2) baking this gives me more time to socialize with my friends.


If you are uneasy about what kind of salmon you should pick and what size would be appropriate for a group of 4-6, please go talk to the seafood guy/girl as they are very knowledgeable and can explain the difference. The seafood guy at Whole Foods was great cause he already had 6 ounce pieces ready to go and the pieces were all the same size, so I know it all will be cooked correctly at the same time and temp.

Marinaded for 30 minutes and ready to be baked.

Baked and ready to eat!
