Last summer we grabbed some stuff for the grill from a local grocery chain, Lunds and Byerly's. One thing we bought were some barbecue maple salmon kabobs. We threw them on the grill and they were absolutely amazing.
A few days later, I made a copycat of their sauce, and tried it with some baked salmon; it was a complete success. We were skeptical at first. The idea of BBQ sauce on oven baked salmon sounded iffy at best. But that sweet and savory flavor glazed over perfectly flaky salmon is incomparable.
To top it off, this tangy and smoky baked barbecue maple salmon is easy and ready in 20 minutes!
Fresh salmon or frozen and thawed salmon infused with real maple syrup is both flavorful and healthy. Together, this easy dinner is full of antioxidants, protein, and vitamin B12, just to name a few.
It is a low mercurv seafood for mothers to be, and for the already mothers, unlike pancake syrup, it has no artificial sweeteners that lead to sugar rushes.
People don't just love it for themselves, they love it for their loved ones.
