As promised, here's the second post in MBE's series about ALDI, the trend-setting grocery chain making waves in Southern California. Last time I reflected on my first experience shopping here and what makes this grocery store with budget-priced quality products so unique.

Now, I'm pleased to have the opportunity to share my original recipes for an easy 3-course meal centered around the Maple Glazed Broiled Fresh Salmon I prepared for my family. Made exclusively with fresh and bakery items purchased at ALDI, this freshly-prepared, colorful and delicious menu costs less than $7 per person, including dessert.

On the menu
  • Maple Glazed Broiled Fresh Salmon
  • Organic Greens with Multicolor Tomato Salad
  • California Sunset Medley Roasted Potatoes
  • Village Bakery Triple Chocolate Creme Cake

Fresh Salmon

Starting with fresh salmon which has not been previously frozen is key to making what my husband and kids all say is the best fish dish they've ever tasted at a restaurant or at home. It's surprisingly easy and fast to make, involving a handful of ingredients all of which can be picked up at your local ALDI supermarket.

Time to Make: 30 minutes
Makes 4 Servings

  • Fresh Atlantic Salmon Fillets, approximately 3 lbs.
  • 2 T. Specially Selected 100% Pure Maple Syrup

  • Fresh lemon, sliced, for garnish

Directions
1. Pre-heat broiler.

3. Place all salmon fillets in pan with skin side facing down.
4. Dot with butter, then drizzle maple syrup over each piece of fish. Sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper to taste.
5. Place pan on rack in the top 1/3 of the oven and brown by broiling, watching carefully as cooking time can vary from 10-18 minutes. Do not turn fish over.

  4. I am not a fan of salmon, but I could probably eat it cooked like this. Looks very delicious and Aldi is my goto grocery store.
