Maple-glazed salmon

What are two of the most Canadian foods ever? Salmon and maple syrup — correct. So why not put them together? Oh wait, we just did. A simple, maple-based glaze brings out the best in salmon, adding a bit of personality to this wonderful fish.

Directions:

In a small bowl, combine all the ingredients except the salmon.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, and lay out the salmon fillets.
Spoon the glaze, and spread it atop the fish.
Bake at 425 degrees F for 12–15 minutes (the salmon should be easy to flake with a fork), or grill for about 4 minutes on each side. Serve and enjoy!
