Easy Maple Soy Salmon
This sweet and savory salmon is a family favorite that comes together in minutes for a healthy dinner.
recipesbynani.comThere is nothing quite like a fresh piece of salmon during the summer months. We love this recipe because the maple and soy glaze caramelizes perfectly in the oven, creating a wonderful flavor that even the pickiest eaters at my table enjoy. It is my go to meal when I want something nutritious that still feels like a treat.
My biggest tip for this dish is to make sure your salmon fillets are roughly the same thickness so they cook evenly. If you have any leftovers, they are absolutely delicious served cold on a salad the next day for a quick lunch.
