53 Mondays–Maple Salmon

MAPLE SALMON (recipe from “Keeping Up” Cookbook)

6 (6-ounce)salmon fillets

1/4 cup brown sugar

1/4 cup pure maple syrup

3 Tbsp soy sauce

1 Tbsp Dijon mustard

1/4 tsp pepper

1/4 cup sliced almonds

Place salmon in a 9” x 13” greased baking dish.  Combine sugar, syrup, soy sauce, mustard, and pepper.  Pour mixture over the salmon. Cover with foil and bake at 425 degrees for 10 minutes.  Remove foil and sprinkle with almonds. Bake an additional 10 minutes or until the fish flakes easily when tested with a fork.  Serve hot. 

I love salmon and this recipe did not disappoint.  It had a gentle maple flavor, but the Dijon really cut down on the sweetness and it was really good. 

Once again, the “Favorites” Cookbook did not disappoint (“Keeping Up” is a follow up to “Favorites”).
