Maple-Glazed Salmon

My friend Corinne made this recipe for me this weekend and I've been dreaming about having it again since! It's that perfect delicious combo of a little spice and a little sweet, and you can adjust it to being less or more spicy to taste too. Also, the spice rub is delicious to keep around for seasoning other items or to have on hand to make this a seriously quick and healthy dish. Of note, Corinne usually used honey instead of maple syrup since maple syrup is a little pricey. I'm not a honey fan but she says you can't really tell the honey taste. We tried the real deal this weekend and she does admit it is better with the maple syrup so up to you! It's only a couple of tablespoons so the bottle will last a while though!
