It’s pretty darn hard to find a salmon recipe that will please a crowd but this sweet n spicy honey-baked salmon does the job every time! I’ve made it several times and even when I don’t have all of the ingredients it still somehow manages to come out fabulous. Don’t you just love a forgiving recipe?
This salmon is full flavored and has the perfect balance of being slightly sweet and slightly spicy, just the way we like it around here. Even my toddler can handle the kick of flavors.
Oh, and don’t you go letting all those ingredients scare you. It’s a pretty simple recipe and so worth it, in the end, you’ll see.
