Maple Roasted Salmon
Meal Prep Maple Roasted Salmon is so easy to prepare, but so delicious. Leftovers make wonderful toppings for Meal Prep Salads for lunch or Salmon Salad Wraps.
If you shy away from taking fish to work because of the “aroma”, not to worry. Both of the Meal Prep lunch recipes are cold, so no one will be offended.
