Tastes-like planked Salmon
10 minutes to prepare. 5-8 minutes to cook. Take time to sit and enjoy your meal!
serves 1 (can be doubled or tripled)
one 4-6 oz slice of Salmon Fillet
2 tsp Maple Syrup
1/2 tsp Soy Sauce
Fresh Grated Ginger optional

Combine Syrup and Soy Sauce. Spread on top of Fillet.
Place under broiler (Cover broiler pan with foil to ease clean up.)
Broil 4-6 minutes depending on thickness of fillet, until done.

While the salmon is broiling, place a potato in the microwave (stab it with a fork first to create steam vents) and cook for 3-5 minutes – depending on your microwave. Place a portion of frozen broccoli on your plate and microwave it for for one minute after you have done the potato. Fish, potato, and broccoli will all come out together.
