Baked Maple-Glazed Salmon With Wilted Spinach
"We don't have salmon often, but this looked so easy & yum that it inspired us to get down to the fishmongers. We used 2 salmon fillets but kept all the other measurements the same & added a handful of sugar-snap peas with the baby spinach. It's simple enough for a weeknight meal and impressive enough to serve guests.
I found this recipe (originally printed in delicious magazine, in Australia - July 2007) on taste.com.au along with some helpful reviews: This is a sweet dish, so people suggested the addition of some lime juice. I liked the idea, and added some, but I'll leave it up to you :)"

My fiance & I have lived in Melbourne all our lives and we love it, it's so diverse & exciting.
We went on a world trip in '04-'05 including the US, UK, France, Italy, Malta, Germany, The Netherlands, Egypt, India & Japan. It was awesome, but great to get home & relax too. :)
The link on this page will take you to my YouTube channel which has slide-show videos of my pics, featuring some amazing street art around Melbourne.
I think it's rude to leave 1 star ratings! To me it's like eating someones cooking then saying "ERGH!" to their face!! :D So we don't give 1 star ratings. If we really don't like something, then it's no stars & a description of why it didn't live up to our expectations, or we may just remove the recipe from our cookbook & leave it at that.
We like cross-promoting recipes in our reviews, to share combinations that work, recipes that inspire & methods people may not have thought of.
We can't help but put something of ourselves into each recipe we try
