Maple Glazed Salmon

Some great health benefits about salmon include; rich essential omega-3 fatty acids, which helps decrease inflammation, lowering blood pressure, and improved function of cells in the lining of your arteries. Not to mention it is also a great source of protein, which is essential for any diet because it helps heal your body after an injury, protect bone health, and maintain muscle mass during weight loss / aging.

Not only will you discover that this dish tastes delicious, but is also very simple to prep. What makes this meal very tasty is the sweet base of the syrup, mixed with the salty soy sauce consistency, creating a natural balanced flavor. Utilizing only 6 ingredients, it takes a few minutes to whisk together and toss in the oven. Fifteen minutes later, you have an amazing dinner that awaits you.

*Pairs nicely with a white wine, like pinot grigio or riesling .
