Sweet and Spicy Salmon

As much as I love spices, and spicy foods, I have not ventured out of my sphere yet...hoping to be more adventurous in exotic spices, and cuisine. I cropped these photos, really focusing on the beautiful sweet, and spicy salmon, which was marinating rubbed with the spices, of hot paprika, chili powder, cumin, zest of 1 lemon, sea salt, freshly ground pepper, and rubbed 1 Tbsp. of extra virgin olive oil (to prevent from dryness, )marinated  it in the frig.  for about 25 minutes...broiled for about 6 minutes, and laced with a Tbsp of honey and the juice of 1 lemon, to finish broiling for another minute...no longer, for a 6 oz. fillet.
When you are dining alone, and you want to make a quick and healthy dinner, not to mention somewhat elegant...after all, you deserve it! Look, what just 1 nice piece of Norwegian salmon can do for you. Livens up your "thrift find" 69 cents plate...LOL...the pepperoncini, which I always like to buy a nice large jar  of and of and the amazing jar of black olives, from Peru purchased at the Latina market, the mesclum fresh salad, and the jasmine rice, which only takes 20 minutes. This truly is a 30 minute meal, from start to finish, and hardly any messy clean up...and you did it for YOURSELF!...So, start to enjoy gourmet, for 1, or 2, at home!

OH my heavens...I need to make this for myself tonight. I don't often treat myself with such a nice meal, but life is too short not to! I adore salmon, and I love the mix of sweet and spicy. I am stopping by the market on my way home from work! Thanks for sharing!

This looks fantastic...I love the spices and finishing with the honey under the broiler is a great idea. It looks crusty and tender and spicy and sweet all at the same time. Yum!

Thank you all for you kind comments. For some reason with this technique and spices, the salmon did come out perfect, but then it was an excellent fresh quality.

I made fish for the first time last week and before that I had no idea how fast it was to make!

Elisabeth said...

Kelsey-That's the best part about seafood. For this piece of salmon, it literally took 7 minutes to broil...any longer, would have been overcooked.

Lizzy said...

I guess I need to run to the store! Those photos did come out good, they stood out, telling me (I want to eat this)! I like the amount of different spices on there too, not too much! Thanks for the idea!
