Sweet Glazed Salmon

The Recipe's Story

 

While browsing the seafood at Central Market I was told that King Salmon would be going up in price next week. I ordered half a pound and decided to try it with my sweet and spicy glaze that I normally use with pork tenderloin. It was a success! I matched the fish with my garlic green beans and a simple side salad of green peppers, green onions, and tomato drizzled with balsamic vinegar.

This is such a simple way to make fish. The sweetness of the honey coupled with the spicy  chili powder are a perfect blend. When broiled, the honey and sugar in the ketchup caramelize adding amazing flavor and texture. Salmon provides omega 3 and vitamin D and is a low fat protein. Honey adds some antioxidants. Add a vegetable on the side and this is a low calorie, heart healthy meal.
