Meal:

“World’s Best (and easiest) Salmon Recipe”

¼ cup pure maple syrup (NOT pancake syrup) or honey

¼ cup soy sauce

2-3 cloves minced garlic

12 ounces of fresh salmon

Directions:

Combine the first 3 ingredients in a gallon-size Ziploc bag, shake it up, and then add the salmon. Allow to marinate in the refrigerator for an hour, turning after half an hour. Pour the salmon and the marinade into a baking dish and bake in a 350-degree oven, covered with foil, for 15 minutes.   Once the weather warms up I will most definitely be using the grill, not the oven.  The salmon is done when it flakes easily at the thickest part. Enjoy!

Side dishes:
Alongside the salmon I served kale chips and roasted broccoli.  To prepare kale and broccoli, wash thoroughly, remove kale stems, and place on a baking sheet.  Pour olive oil atop the green vegetables so it is lightly covered, sprinkle with fresh minced garlic and garlic salt.  Bake broccoli at 450 degrees for 16-20 minutes, check the kale for crispy perfection, I removed the kale around 10 minutes.  

Y'all, I just finished eating this meal...and goodness gracious it was DELICIOUS!!!
