Maple Bacon And Rosemary Salmon

• 3 Salmon filets
• 6 Bacon Strips
• 1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
• 1 pinch Salt
• 1/2 tsp Black pepper
• 3 Rosemary Stems
• 1/2 tsp Lemon Pepper
• 1/3 cup Maple Syrup
• 1 tbsp Butter
• 1 tbsp Worcestershire Sauce
• 1/3 cup Milk

1. Preheat oven to 425F
2. Prep salmon by rubbing both sides with the salt, black pepper, lemon pepper, and garlic powder
3. Place a Rosemary stem on top of each filet.
4. Take the bacon and wrap two pieces around each filet near the ends, making sure the Rosemary stem stays in place.
5. Hold this together with toothpicks so the bacon won't slip off when cooking.
6. Now to make the sauce!
7. For the sauce, put a pan on the stove on medium heat.
8. When the pan is hot, add the butter and milk.
9. Stir until the butter is completely melted
10. Next add your maple syrup.
11. Be sure to constantly be stirring or it will separate.
12. After the syrup is mixed in turn down the heat on the stove.
13. Keep stirring to help thicken the sauce.
14. Next add the Worcestershire sauce.
15. This is to offset the natural sweetness of the syrup and the milk.
16. We want our fish to be sweet and tangy.
17. The sauce will probably begin to clump up.
18. That's ok!
19. Just keep stirring.
20. Once the sauce is thickened a bit, remove it from the heat.
21. Strain your sauce into a separate bowl, which will get rid of those clumps and leave you with a nice and smooth sauce.
22. Discard any clumps that you may have.
23. If you don't have any to discard them that just means you are a beast at making this sauce!
24. (Note:if you want a thicker sauce use 2% milk.
25. Slightly thinner use skim)
26. Put your filets into a baking dish, trying to keep them close to each other.
27. Normally you want space in between, but for this you want to absorb all that flavor from the bacon so scrunch them up!
28. Now pour your sauce over top of your filets, and be careful since it's still hot.
29. No need to worry about any cooking oils here.
30. The sauce provides all the moisture you're gonna need to keep your fish from drying out.
31. Now place your salmon in the oven for about 10-12 minutes depending on the thickness of the fish.
32. Remove from the oven when the fish flakes easily with a fork and is opaque.
33. Let stand for 5 minutes to cool then serve and enjoy!
