Do you love salmon but don’t know how to cook it? Try this Easy Oven Baked Salmon recipe from my longtime contributor, Holly Clegg.
Since it’s an easy oven baked salmon recipe, there’s no need to fire up the grill.
This recipe for salmon is not only perfect for a busy weeknight dinner, it’s great for entertaining, too.
It’s also healthy, diabetic friendly, and naturally gluten free.
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!
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.
