Baked Salmon

baked salmon, hash browns & sauteed baby spinach - YUM!

I have a love-hate relationship with salmon. LOVE it for a bit, then can't even bear the sight of it for months on end! Don't ask me why...I just don't understand it at all! However, the other night was a salmon night as it looked fresh and wonderful at the fish counter. While I usually buy wild salmon, this time is was Norwegian-farmed salmon. While it isn't nearly as good for you as wild salmon, it certainly tastes wonderful! 

For two folks: 

3/4 - 1 lb. salmon fillet*

3 T. mayonnaise

1 T. Dijon mustard

1 T. pure maple syrup

1 - 2 T. Victoria Taylor's toasted sesame ginger seasoning (sesame seeds 54%, ginger 22%, garlic powder, sea salt, cayenne, toasted sesame oil)

Preheat the oven to 425º F. 

Mix together all the ingredients (not the salmon, duh!) (If you don't have the Victoria seasoning (which you really need badly), look at it's ingredients and add them individually to the marinade.)

Put parchment paper or foil on a cookie sheet, smear a bit of the marinade on it and place the salmon fillet on top. Evenly coat the salmon with the marinade. Bake until it easily flakes, about 15 - 20 minutes. Serve. 

(*Slice the raw salmon into individual servings before baking - makes it easier to serve.)

(I love parentheses.)

We ate our salmon with hash brown potatoes and fresh sauteed baby spinach.
