Not only is <\/span>maple BBQ salmon with cauliflower rice & black beans<\/i><\/strong> the simplest weeknight dinner you\u2019ll ever make, but it\u2019s also super delicious — and it includes a perfect blend of lean protein, vegetables, and healthy carbs. It’s sure to become a regular meal in your household.<\/span><\/p>\n You’ll need just five ingredients to prepare this meal:<\/p>\n For this meal, you’ll use 5 oz per portion of fresh salmon. I like to ask the seafood counter to cut the portions for me, because they do it much more easily than I can.<\/span><\/p>\n For the most sustainable seafood choice, refer to the <\/span>Seafood Watch<\/span><\/a> list and look for certification from the <\/span>Marine Stewardship Council<\/span><\/a> or <\/span>Aquaculture Stewardship Council<\/span><\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n Here are a few tips for selecting the freshest salmon for your meal:<\/span><\/p>\n As with all seafood, ideally you’ll eat your salmon the same day you purchase it<\/strong>. If you can\u2019t eat it that day, either freeze it right away or eat it within a day or two.<\/span><\/p>\n When you\u2019re ready to prep your meal, preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Lightly spray a baking pan and set the salmon inside. For a quick and perfect topping, drizzle the fish with roughly a teaspoon or more of maple BBQ sauce<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n We\u2019ve tried pretty much every maple BBQ sauce we can find, and our favorite is <\/span>Butternut Mountain Farm Maple Barbeque Sauce<\/span><\/a>. If you can snag a bottle, you need to do it! <\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Regardless of the brand you pick, be sure to select a BBQ sauce that uses real maple syrup, rather than maple flavoring. It makes a world of difference in both taste and nutritional content.<\/span><\/p>\n For a variation on this recipe that\u2019s even lighter and healthier, try this: instead of BBQ sauce, simply add lemon juice to the salmon, followed by a light sprinkling of garlic salt. It\u2019s just as quick, easy, and delicious.<\/span><\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n Once your salmon is prepared, bake for 17 minutes at 375 degrees or until cooked through.<\/span><\/p>\nIngredients for your simple salmon dinner<\/h3>\n
