Salmon is the fish I always find myself returning to. This Maple Salmon has great texture and lacks that ‘fishy’ flavor. Baked, grilled, smoked, or broiled – you pretty much can’t screw salmon up. Unless you over cook it. Let’s not do that.

Fish. That about as close to vegetarian as it gets in this kitchen. I always tell myself it’s the healthiest of the proteins. My go to for when I really want to feel like I’m doing something good for myself. Then I go and roll it in maple syrup and tell myself those calories don’t count at all, you know, cuz the fish makes it healthy.

Fat kid logic. I love it.

Salmon is the fish I always find myself returning to. It’s got great texture and lacks that ‘fishy’ flavor (No seriously what the hell is ‘fishy flavor’? Seriously, don’t like that taste – don’t eat fish? My god, I hate when my burger taste like cow too…Said no one ever). Bake it, grill it, smoke it (promise that’s coming), or broil it – you pretty much can’t screw salmon up. Unless you over cook it. Let’s not do that.

    When you eat something healthy it actually negates the unhealthy portions, didn’t you know that?

    Thank you! I always hate it when people say something has a fishy flavor or smell. Hello! It’s….wait for it…..fish. Duh.

    I guess I need to give salmon another try because I always say it’s not my favorite but I can’t remember why. I’m sure there was a reason years ago (maybe it tasted fishy), but that’s not good enough for now. This looks like a perfect recipe with which to get re-acquainted. Thanks.

      I have been wandering around for a day trying to remember what I wanted to tell you – finally when looking for something else over at PtS I remembered. My go to salmon dish is https://passthesushi.com/dill-rosemary-salmon/ its silly easy, but I love the flavors. It was the recipe that got me ‘into’ fish as an adult because I never really liked it. It would be my first pick for a re-acquaintance ;D

    We share similar logic when it comes to telling myself it’s ok to dip baked sweet potato fries on spicy Siracha ranch. Balance right? Baked salmon is always delightful
