    Ingredients

    • . > (American / Metric measures)
    • . 2 pieces wild Salmon (tail fillets), skin on
    • . MIX:
    • . 1 tbsp. (15ml) Dijon mustard
    • . 1/4 tsp. (1ml) 'fleur d'ail' (garlic flower) or 1 tiny garlic clove, minced
    • . 2 tbsp. (30ml) Maple syrup
    • . 2 tbsp. (30ml) e.v.Olive oil
    • . 1 tbsp. (15ml) lemon juice
    • . Seasoning: pinch each of: sea salt, dried {basil, oregano, tarragon}
    • . 16 small Kalamata olives
    • . 1/8 cup (18g) roasted almonds, crushed
    • .
    • . VEGETABLE bed: (optional)
    • . 1/2 a roasted spaghetti squash, scraped

    Directions

    1. . Pre-heat oven at 375F/190C/Gas5. Position rack at the bottom of the oven.
    2. . With placing the cut half of the squash side down, it should be roasted with surfaced knife slits for vapour evacuation. Note: this step could have been done ahead of time.
    3. . Prepare and line a medium-sized oven-proof dish with parchment paper. Place the Salmon piece, skin down.
    4. . Mix all the ingredients except the nuts. Afterwards, spread the mix equally on both Salmon pieces. Sprinkle the crushed nuts for garnish.
    5. . Depending on the thickness of the fillets...bake anywhere between 15-20 minutes. A whitish surface foam will appear and it can be checked for doneness by poking it while feeling a little resistance. Make sure not to over bake.
    6. . With a thin metal spatula, gently ease the salmon fillet from its skin and serve on the bed of spaghetti squash and enjoy.

      This recipe sounds amazing.! The olives and fish together along with maple create the sweet salty and savory mouth party that is my favorite. Can't wait to try.=)
