Quick and Easy Glazed Salmon!

               So I threw together this quick and easy dinner tonight and we really liked it. Especially for it being so easy and budget friendly. So I'll jump right in. 

Maple Glazed Salmon!!


       Start out by preheating your oven to 450. Using a shallow pan spray it down with some non-stick spray and place salmon skin side down. (unless you don't have salmon with skin of course!) 


        Now mix together about 4 tablespoons of maple syrup ( I used 100% ), 2 tablespoons soy sauce, a pinch of cayenne and about 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder. (Make sure it's not garlic salt or else it will be to salty. The soy sauce will be enough.) 


        Now use about half of the sauce to brush on the filets. Bake at 450 for about 5 mins. Take out and brush on the rest of the sauce and broil on low until finished cooking. (Mine took about 6 minutes.) 
Cooking time will vary depending on the size of your filets. Just a heads up- Line your pan with some foil. I forgot to do this and the extra sauce on the pan burned and it was a pain to clean off!! 


With this dish I cooked up some yellow squash and zucchini fresh out of my garden. I sautéed them with a little pat of butter and a pinch of sea salt on a lower heat. I like them to be a tiny bit browned. 


         With that I mashed up some red potatoes with a little butter, cream, salt and pepper. 


           And your DONE!!! That's it. It's that easy!!!! I know it's a short and easy recipe but I had to share for that alone. I hope you guys enjoy!!! 



        Want to know what I was sipping on while I posted this blog???? 
Ever heard of a passion tea lemonade from Starbucks? Well I decided to make my own at home to save a little money. With a little help from Starbucks of course! 
I bought Starbucks passion iced tea bags and Minute Maid lemonade (15 calories!!).
You don't even need to sweeten it because the lemonade does that for you. Yum!!!
