ingredients
- 4 (8 ounce) salmon fillets
- sea salt
-
4 tablespoons red chile honey (make your own or buy)
- new mexico chile powder
- crushed garlic
- wild honey
directions
- Preheat oven to 450-degrees F.
- Salt both sides of the salmon.
- On a large cookie sheet sprayed with Pam, sear the fillet for 2 minutes on one side. Brush with 1 tablespoon of the honey per filet.
- Continue cooking the fish for 5-10 minutes or until fish is done.
- ***The original recipe turns the fish over (and also uses a skillet instead of a cookie sheet and skipping the Pam), brushing both sides of the fish with the honey (thus sear the fish for 2 minutes, brush with 1 tablespoon of honey per fillet, turn fish and brush again with the honey - cook 5 minutes or until done), but I didn't bother turning over the fish and it still turned out delicious (and less calories too, as when you turn the fish you also brush the other side with the honey too thus using 8 tablespoons of honey for the 4 pieces of fish rather than the 4 tablespoons I used).
- * To make Red Chile Honey, mix together wild honey, New Mexican red chile powder (or your favorte chile powder or crushed chile caribe) and a little crushed roasted garlic. Let the ingredients sit for 1 to 2 weeks. This can be used not only as honey for the fish and for blue corn muffins/bread, but it can also be used in a sauce, butter or marinade adding a bit of a zip to the sauce/butter or marinade used on chicken or fish.

A little sweet (brushed honey on one side of fillet). My fillets were thinner than the fillets in the picture. I sprinkled some sea salt on one side, then lay the fillet on the cookie sheet. I sprinkled a tad more of sea salt and brushed some honey. I cooked for about 7 min. then sprinkled some granulated garlic and threw some baby spinach leaves and pine nuts on top of the fillets. Oh ya, an on my some portions I sprinkled some crushed chili pepper. It was yummy. We served it with green beans and green tea!

<p>I love cooking and trying different foods, but my favorite cookbooks are now Weight Watchers or low fat/low cal cookbooks as I tend to try and make low fat/low cal recipes. I lost over 90 pounds on Weight Watchers and have maintained for over a year now -- so my cooking/eating habits have changed drastically following my weight loss and to keep it off!</p>
