Smokin' Salmon

Warm up from the inside out with this speedy recipe for roast salmon topped with a smoky maple-mustard sauce. The sweetness of the maple balances the tangy mustard and smoked paprika adds another layer of flavour. Ask the fishmonger to cut the salmon into four 100g fillets with the skin removed.
