What's Great About It:
Ontario is Canada’s third-largest maple syrup producing province, behind Quebec and New Brunswick. In 2023, it produced 4.8% of Canada’s maple syrup or 3,016,518kg of syrup! The maple balsamic glaze used in this recipe is a great addition to any meat or fish. This dish uses cod, which is an excellent source of lean protein. The glaze is also delicious paired with salmon, ham, or drizzled over vegetables before roasting them. Make sure to serve alongside plenty of salad greens or vegetables of choice for a quick and tasty meal.
