- ¼ cup (50 mL) orange juice
- 2 tablespoons (25 mL) fresh lemon juice

2. Place the four salmon fillets in pan, leaving 1/2 inch (1 cm) between pieces. |
3. Chop the almonds by hand or use a hand-held blender or chopper (it only takes a few seconds with a hand-held blender). Distribute the chopped almonds evenly on top of the fillets. |
4. In a small bowl, mix together the maple syrup, orange juice, lemon juice, soy sauce and crushed garlic. |
5. Use a spoon to gently baste the marinade over top of each fillet. |
6. Bake salmon for about 15 to 20 minutes or until fish is just done. |
7. While the fish is baking, baste top with marinade at least once or twice. |
8. When removing fish from the pan, leave the leftover marinade behind and discard. |
9. Serve the fish with brown rice and a green salad or vegetables. |
