While meal planning for the week and sifting through recipes I decided to give the recipe box a try! I have also been on a mission to get the hubby to eat and enjoy salmon! I love, love, love this fish and want to incorporate more of it in our dinners however, the hubby is not salmon's biggest fan! That's where this recipe comes into play! I felt there was enough sugar, spice and everything nice to appeal to his tastes buds and I was about 95% accurate! He ate all of it which was a huge win in my book!
The Recipe Card |
Salmon - Cayenne Pepper - Brown Sugar - Honey - Chili Powder - Sea Salt |
Fresh Salmon Filets or Flash Frozen Salmon Filets {I used Frozen}
Chili Powder
Cayenne Pepper
Sea Salt
Honey
Brown Sugar
As you can see from my recipe card there were no measurements so you basically have to eyeball it to your liking! For instance it called for a "pinch" of brown sugar but I used about a tablespoon on each filet to ensure more of a glaze for the fish. I also cooked this in a skillet pan on top of the stove instead of in the oven which allowed for the juicy glaze as well.
Directions:
Place Salmon in pan skin side down {my frozen filets didn't have skin so I just placed them in the pan}
Cover both salmon pieces entirely with Chili Powder {pretty vigorous amount}
Then follow behind with a light sprinkle of Cayenne Pepper
Lightly dust with Sea Salt
Drizzle entire filet with Honey
Top with Brown Sugar
I then covered the pan and cooked the Salmon until it flaked.
Honey Chili Salmon! |
This was a super easy peasy meal to make and would work perfectly on any weeknight!! I didn't time it but I'm certain it didn't take more than 20 minutes to prepare and cook! Easy, Yummy, and the Hubby ate it! Certainly a successful dinner in my house! I'll for sure be using this one again! If you end up trying it be sure to let me know! I'd love to hear your thoughts!!
XoXo!
Yum this looks like a great simple recipe! I will be adding this to my menu list :)
ReplyDeleteAwesome!!! Please be sure to tell me how you liked it?! And you can always use the option of cooking it in the oven like the recipe card says! :)

I am a huge huge fan of salmon too, however the hubby's distaste for it limits how much of it I eat at home! Hopefully I can find some more creative recipes for it and coax him into liking it!!!
DeleteSalmon in the oven is the easiest thing in the world too! If you take those filets out of the fridge, you just dress them, put the oven on at 400, and they cook in 10-12 minutes! And salmon is so good for you, so it's great that you're eating it!!! :)
ReplyDeleteI think Im going to try it in the oven next time like the recipe card states! I may try some other ways of dressing it too, though considering that this one was a hit with the hubby, I may just leave the recipe alone lol! If it ain't broke dont fix it, right?! I would love in eat more salmon but its difficult to eat it at home when the hubby doesnt like it! As long as I can find some tasteful options for him it may turn into a hit!
DeleteThat looks so delicious girl! Hubby-to-be loves Salmon too, so I'm going to have to try this! Hope you're having a wonderful week love!
