I don’t know why I used to be scared to cook fish. I guess it was the fear of the unknown. Ok, and kind of the smell haha 🙂
Living in the NW, we are SO lucky to have access to amazing fresh fish, so I decided to get over my fear. What I found out? It’s EASY!
Honestly, I change up the marinade depending on what’s in my fridge, but usually I do something sweet + something salty + a little kick. It’s Here’s what I did this last time…
Ingredients
- 2 Tablespoons olive oil
- 2 Tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoons real maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger (I cheat and use this)
- 2 Tablespoons chopped chives (happened to have some left over from a previous dinner 🙂
- A little sea salt and Pepper
- 3-4 salmon filets
Directions
- Preheat oven to 450
-
Line a baking pan with tin foil (makes the clean up SO easy!) and lay salmon skin side down.
-
Mix all the ingredients in bowl and pour over the salmon
-
Bake for 12-14 minutes (depends on the size of your filets)
- Serve with a side salad and some crusty bread (<–not paleo), and you’re done!
In case you were wondering if it’s child friendly, Maya CHOWED this down.

umm, maple goes so well with salmon. I wish I could cook more fish in the house, but my boyfriend hates the smell!

I hate the smell too!!! I used to make my husband cook all fish outside on the grill, but I swear this doesn’t smell up the house!! I think baking it in the oven is the key. I used to cook it on the cook top and wanted to gag/change my clothes/burn candles. Then…I started baking fish in the oven. SO much better and easier!
