This one is Coach Dani's personal favourite. She's been making it for years and is always a crowd pleaser.

1tbs maple syrup
½ tsp paprika
2tbs chopped parsley
50g finely chopped walnuts
salt & pepper
1 medium sweet potato

2 cloves garlic lightly crushed
1 small head broccoli

Place salmon in a baking dish. Mix oil, maple syrup, paprika, parsley, walnuts and salt and pepper in a bowl. Press mix into top of salmon, coating evenly. At 25mins into vegetables baking, place salmon into oven for 25mins.
Steam green beans for 10 minutes and broccoli for 6 minutes.

*Note: Sweet potato is low GI and therefore a more sustainable carbohydrate to stabilise energy. If you are having the evening before (long run) or immediately after a run, then you’re welcome to add a starchy, white potato for a more immediate carbohydrate.
