By Ricardo
Published on March 27, 2024
On busy weeknights, we opt for this spring recipe with its touch of maple. Simply brush the salmon with a quick sauce made of garlic, ginger and maple syrup, then cook it quickly under the oven grill. An all-purpose meal idea that can be prepared in two steps, three movements to put on the menu often.
