late night baked salmon

This is a flavorful and nutritious one-pan meal that you can whip up in just 20 minutes!

Seafood is my go-to source of protein whenever I get home late from work and need a quick meal. Normally, I'd reach for the soy, garlic, and honey, but one night, I decided to take a lighter route and make a dill sauce instead. It surely did not disappoint! In fact, I'll be using this sauce more often -- especially because it contains way less sugar.

This salmon pairs well with a side of quinoa, potatoes, and/or greens. Broccolini caught my eye in the grocery store the other day, so I went with that, and it was the perfect side to a light meal.
