Maple Roasted Salmon

Looking for the perfect salmon recipe? Well, here it is! This has been a staple in my house since I first started making it a few years ago. It pairs beautifully with most of my CSA veggies and makes an equally easy weeknight dinner or fancy dinner for guests.The last time I made it, both boys went back for thirds!    If you aren't comfortable cooking with fish, start with this recipe -- only 5 ingredients and it takes less than 20 minutes start to finish.

I have shared this recipe with so many friends and often receive requests for it, so here it is -- pin it, book mark it, share it, enjoy it! (Did you know you can pin directly from any image on my blog? Just hover over the photo, then click on the Pinterest icon):)
