Canadian Maple Bacon Salmon

Throwing a Canada Day potluck? Then you are in luck; we have a super simple recipe great for a crowd using some of Canada’s favourite ingredients: salmon and maple. What makes this dish a winner for any get together is its ease of preparation – and the delicious flavours of course!

Simply use the oven-baked method to crisp up some bacon, while your salmon fillet roasts at the same temp and time, with a sweet and savoury maple glaze. Pull them both out, dice up the bacon and garnish, and voila – a celebratory salmon feast! By using highly flavoured ingredients (like bacon and maple) you can actually get away with using less than you think (and save some SmartPoints) without sacrificing any flavour.
