Today, I was finally able to prepare for my first dish that would be exposed to my fellow food lovers. After much anticipation I decided to make a dish called Maple Glazed Salmon. I stumbled upon this recipe in the Cooking Light Magazine. The mixture of spices defintely add flare to this dish along with a sweet glaze over the top. A couple of suggestions that I have for this recipe are to use fresh salmon that is not pre-seasoned, a longer cooking time (which I will provide), and a true maple syrup instead of a plain run of the mill syrup. Don’t worry the fish is still pink if you use my suggested time!
To compliment the meal I added southwestern rice to enhance the spice blend used on the salmon. I also did a fresh mozzarella and tomato salad to complete this balanced meal. (Which I will include later in my recipes) ENJOY!
