Ingredients

1 lb. salmon

¼ cup real maple syrup

2 Tbsp. soy sauce

1 clove garlic, minced

1/8 tsp. ground black pepper

2 medium sweet potatoes

1 Tbsp. butter

1 Tbsp. milk

½ Tbsp. honey

¼ tsp. salt

¼ tsp. cinnamon

1/8 tsp. vanilla

1/8 tsp. nutmeg

2 egg whites

Action

1. Place salmon in a shallow glass baking dish. In a small bowl, mix the rest of the ingredients through the black pepper. Pour the marinade over the salmon, cover and refrigerate for around 30 minutes; turn once in about 15 minutes.

2. Add water to pot and set on high to boil. Wash, peel and cut potatoes into cubes; add to boiling water for about 10 minutes or until fork tender.

3. Remove potatoes from heat and drain. Mash with a fork and add ingredients through nutmeg; stir until smooth.

4. In a medium bowl, or with a whisk/fork, beat egg whites until they start to form soft peaks (the peak will be foam-like). Fold the egg whites into the potato mixture 1/3 at a time; each time just until combined. Grease muffin tin and evenly distribute amongst the cups (you will fill 8-9 wells).
