Why I love easy baked salmon

What I love about Holly’s baked salmon recipe is there are only five ingredients! (I don’t count salt and pepper.)

And you can get dinner cooked up in 25 minutes or less.

It’s also healthy, diabetic friendly, and naturally gluten free.

If you're on a keto diet, use your favorite sugar substitute instead of the brown sugar.

I like Swerve Sweetener, Brown. It's all natural, zero calories, and terrific for anyone doing keto or low carb diets.
