Salmon with Maple Syrup and Toasted Almonds, baked sweet potatoes, & broccoli

I love this recipe because it's so easy and so good. My boys will even eat this salmon! I like to serve it with baked sweet potatoes and broccoli. Cooking the sweet potatoes in the microwave makes it even easier and just as good, in my opinion.

Yield: 6 servings (serving size: 1 fillet and about 2 tablespoons sugar mixture)

Ingredients
6 (6-ounce) salmon fillets
Cooking spray
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup maple syrup
3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
4 teaspoons sliced almonds, toasted
Preparation
Preheat oven to 425°.

Place fillets in a 13 x 9-inch baking dish coated with cooking spray. Combine sugar, syrup, soy sauce, mustard, and black pepper; pour sugar mixture over fillets. Cover with foil; bake at 425° for 10 minutes. Remove foil; sprinkle the fillets with almonds. Bake an additional 10 minutes or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork. Serve with sugar mixture.

Shepherd's Pie

I have made Shepherd's Pie before, but this is a different recipe. It calls for chicken instead of beef.

I haven't forgotten

Just wanted to say that I haven't been posting meals on here because they have all been repeats. I like that you can search for previous posts/meals over to the right. I've been doing that and then making my favorites. I have my meals posted on the Big Tent sight in case you ever wonder what's for dinner.
