CHILE-HONEY GLAZED SALMON

I don’t know about you, but weeknights can be hectic.  Yet, I love to cook and try new recipes, so I’m always looking for great new entrée’s that won’t take hours to prepare, yet taste like they did.

We’re also Salmon lovers in our house, and they are so easy to prepare.  Keep them healthy by brushing just a little olive oil on them and then salt and pepper, or jazz them up a bit with a fruit salsa, or, make them POP with this Chile-Honey Glazed Salmon recipe.

Enjoy this healthy, refreshing meal.

CHILE-HONEY GLAZED SALMON

·         Four 8-ounce center-cut salmon fillets with skin

·         2 Tbsp. honey

·         1 ½ tsp. pure ancho chile powder

·         1 ½ tsp. Dijon mustard

·         Salt and pepper

·         EVOO

Light a grill or preheat a grill pan.  In a small bowl, combine the honey with the ancho chile powder and mustard and season with salt. Brush the salmon with EVOO and season with salt and pepper.  Grill the fish skin side down over moderately high heat until very crisp, about 3 minutes.  Cook the fish on the remaining 3 sides just until lightly charred, 3 minutes longer. Brush the salmon with the chile-honey glaze and grill skin side up until lightly caramelized, 2 minutes.

(I prefer a more rare salmon and only cooked it about 2 minutes per side)
