Honey Glazed Salmon

After the last few days of restaurant after restaurant and lots of junk food (grandma and grandpa were in town), we needed a bit of a healthy detox. For this, I turned to one of the kids favorites, honey glazed salmon. This recipe is from a great book, "The Six O'clock Scramble." I got the book as a free gift with another one I bought on Amazon and it's perfect for quick meals that are kid friendly and usually involve basic ingredients that most people have on hand. Best of all, the honey glazed salmon is the ideal Monday main since it's ready quickly and bakes in the oven with almost no hands on time. Tonight, I served it with steamed broccoli and cheese and some orzo with butter and salt. As always, be sure to check for bones in the fish before serving to your kids.

Honey Glazed Salmon (from the Six O'clock Scramble cookbook)

Timing - 20 minutes

Ingredients
4 pieces of salmon fillets (about 1.5 lbs)
2 T butter
1/4 cup honey
salt and pepper

How to Make
Preheat oven to 350 degrees and spray a 9x13 baking dish with cooking spray. Melt the butter and honey together either on low heat on the stove or in the microwave for about 45 seconds. Stir.

Salt and pepper the salmon and place the fish in the baking dish leaving room between each piece. If the fish has skin, place skin side down. Generously brush the fish with the honey mixture. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.

Serves 4
