Who said you have to choose between healthy and delicious?
Easy Honey Baked Salmon
Every year on the first of January, a lot of us make a New Year’s resolution to eat healthier. And every year by the first of February, a lot of us have already broken it. Because, let’s face it – when you have to choose between eating something healthy and eating something delicious, delicious will win every time.
But what if you didn’t have to choose?
Thanks to this Easy Honey Baked Salmon, you can have your delicious and eat right too. As we all know, salmon is full of protein and heart-healthy fats – but when you drench it in a scrumptious sauce full of honey, olive oil, and garlic, it’s also loaded with flavor. And with the help of a little aluminum foil, it’s easy to cook it to tender, flaky perfection in just 20 minutes.
Serve this up with a nice green veggie and a starch – baked potato, rice, or maybe some nutty quinoa – and all of a sudden, that New Year’s resolution will start to look a lot easier to stick to.

I love this recipe! It is deliciousà I have also tweaked it by sometimes adding ginger, paprika, onion powder, etc. I have also grilled it. Thanks for sharing.

I would change this just a little by deleting the honey and add sugar free pancake syrup
