Cider Glazed Salmon

 Salmon is definitely one of those dishes that you either love or hate but for those wanting to come over to the right side *winks*, you might want to try this recipe.
There are lots of cider glazed recipes out there but I wanted something quick and simple that would also appeal to kids.  If you can get your kids eating fish at a young age, the health benefits are tremendous.  I don’t buy farmed salmon and unless you can purchase fresh locally, I would recommend frozen.  It’s flash frozen on the boat as soon as it’s caught so it’s fresher than anything you’ll find at your grocer’s these days.
As an aside, you may have noticed I’ve changed the look of my blog again.  I’m having a blast with my new camera and wanted to post some of my pics on the header.  I’d love to hear your opinion. Over the next few weeks, I’ll be trying out different looks and I will need some help with a final decision. Honestly, after looking at the same pic over and over sometimes I can’t decide if it’s good or bad! Thanks, everyone and have a great Tuesday!

    Tender flaky salmon is loved by kids at heart too. I could never resist this flavourful dish.
