Recipe: Sweet & Spicy Salmon

I LOVE fresh salmon. I would eat it morning, noon, and night if I could. This is a super simple weeknight recipe - it takes 10 mins to make and it's incredibly satisfying.

So easy... you literally just chuck all the ingredients - maple syrup, soy sauce, garlic, chili flakes - in a bowl and then the oven. If you like it really spicy, you can add more chili flakes.

Line a dish with foil and add the salmon with half the sauce. Remember to spray your foil. I always forget and have to scrape my salmon out the tin. Pop it in a 180º oven for 8 mins.

There you have it! Delicious sweet and spicy salmon. Serve with rice and pour the remaining sauce over.
