Here in the Pacific Northwest we love our salmon and I’m always on the lookout for new fresh and easy ways to prepare our beloved fish. This easy recipe is full of scrumptious savory flavors like lemon pepper, garlic, soy sauce which are balanced with the sweetness of brown sugar. Not only is this dish full of flavor but it uses the sugar substitute SPLENDA, making this dish both diabetes-friendly and low calorie! It’s the perfect meal for any night of the week. I recommend serving it atop fresh greens like peppery arugula or with roasted broccolini.
