I love this recipe because it’s the perfect balance of sweet and spicy! Cinnamon and maple give the salmon a nice sweetness where the chili powder and chipotle powder give it a little kick of spice!

I baked the salmon with small diced sweet potatoes which roast up perfectly in the same time as the salmon for a delicious, complete meal!
