Ingredients
  • 4 skinless, salmon fillets
  • 1/2 Cups almonds, chopped coarsely
  • 1/4 Cups maple syrup
  • 1/4 Cups orange juice
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons light soy sauce
  • 2 cloves garlic, crushed
    • Directions
  • 1.

    Preheat oven to 425ºF. Line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper.

  • 2.

    Place the four salmon fillets in pan leaving 1/2 inch between pieces.

  • 3.

    Chop the almonds by hand or use a hand-held blender (it only takes a few seconds with a hand-held blender). Distribute the chopped almonds evenly on top of the fillets.

  • 4.

    In a small bowl, mix together the maple syrup, orange juice, lemon juice, soy sauce and crushed garlic. Use a spoon to gently baste the marinade over top of each fillet.

  • 5.

    Bake salmon for about 15 to 20 minutes or until fish is just done. While the fish is baking, baste top with marinade at least once or twice. When removing fish from the pan, leave the leftover marinade behind and discard.

  • 6.

    Serve the fish with brown rice and a green salad or vegetables.
