Ingredients
- 2 frozen salmon fillets, about 4 oz (120g) each
- 1 tbsp mustard
- 3/4 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp dill powder
- Substitute the maple syrup for sugar free syrup if your sensitive to sugar. Keep in mind that the entire dish helps to slow down digestion because of the protein in the salmon. This makes digestive issues less likely as opposed to when eating the maple syrup on its own.
- Add chili flakes or chopped parsley to the marinade for a different variety.
- Substitute the salmon fillet for cod or tilapia.
- Serve with oven baked potatoes or quinoa and a green salad or oven roasted Brussels sprouts with Parmesan (if pouch space allows).
