Baked Maple Salmon with Asparagus

Yesterday, I was doing my weekly food shop when I walked by the Fish Counter and noticed these luscious salmon fillets ahead of me. I bought one, for £1.80 - ah, the solitary life.

 I sprinkled the asparagus lightly with Olive Oil and sprinkled liberally with ground black pepper.

I made a small amount of marinade up - maple syrup, a small amount of soy sauce and half a crushed garlic clove. I covered the salmon in the marinade and left it for 20 minutes in the fridge.

I baked the salmon at 200 degrees for 20 minutes, adding the asparagus half way through cooking. I decided to serve with some mashed potato and a little sweet chilli sauce. The salmon was wonderfully flaky and sweet. A winner!
