Simple Salmon

Salmon (and pretty well any fish) is quite easy to cook and can be very tasty (for those that like fish). Salmon takes anywhere from 20 min in the oven to 10 min in a pan and is even quite inexpensive if you can buy it on sale or in bulk to freeze. Salmon is also quite versatile, no matter what you have in the cupboards or fridge; there is always something that you can top your salmon with whether it be lemon juice or dijon mustard. This is a salmon recipe that is very good and VERY easy to make. If you have access to a barbeque, I would recommend going to a grocery store and grabbing yourself a cedar cooking plank. This recipe on the barbeque over a cedar plank adds a great flavour that will melt in your mouth.

1 salmon filet

2 tablespoons of maple syrup

1 tablespoon of brown sugar

(optional chives, pepper, honey)

Preheat oven or toaster oven to 400 degrees.

Prepare salmon in a foil pan with 2 tablespoons of maple syrup and one tablespoon of brown sugar. Place in oven at 400 for 8 minutes. Then proceed to broil for 4 min (broiling makes the salmon crispy on top, if you do not like your salmon crispy simply bake at 400 for 12-15 min).

Great served with green beans, asparagus, peppers, and rice.

Total cost $10 (Salmon $6, Syrup $2, Brown Sugar $2)
