salmon without garlic

I always make salmon the same way: lemon juice, olive oil,

salt and lots and lots of garlic.

Last night I was too lazy to get the garlic from storage (the garlic harvested from this summer)

so I threw together some spices and the results were great - so let me share them with you.

You will need:

1 piece of salmon fillet

1 tsp cumin

1 tsp curry powder

1 tsp chili powder

1 tsp coriander

1/2 tsp salt

1 tbsp maple syrup

1/2 cup orange juice

Mix the spices and add the maple syrup to form a paste. Gently spread the paste on the salmon and allow to sit for a minimum of 3 hours in the fridge. Preheat the oven to 375, add the juice to the salmon as a baste and bake until done. Baste the salmon a couple of times while it is baking.

You can also broil the salmon for 5 minutes before reducing the heat to bake. I like it this way as well. The top layer of the salmon sears in the juices.
