Broiled Salmon with Thai Sweet Chili Glaze

Review by Lyndee:

Ingredients 1-1/2 pounds (or four 6-ounce pieces) salmon, skin on or off 6 tablespoons Thai Sweet Chili Sauce (best quality, such as Mae Ploy or Thai Kitchen) 3 tablespoons soy sauce 1 tablespoon peeled and finely grated fresh ginger 1-2 scallions, green parts only, finely sliced Directions Set oven rack 5-6 inches from top (in my oven, it's the second highest rung) and preheat broiler.   Make marinade by combining sweet chili sauce, soy sauce and ginger in a shallow baking dish. Spoon 1/4 cup marinade into a small dish and set aside (this will be the sauce for the cooked fish). Add salmon fillets, skin side up, to remaining marinade and marinate for 1 hour in refrigerator. Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil and spray with nonstick cooking spray. Transfer salmon fillets to prepared baking sheet, skin side down, and drizzle a bit of the marinade over top. Go easy -- you don't want it to pool too much on the baking sheet because it will burn in the oven. Broil salmon for 6-10 minutes, or until browned in spots and almost opaque in the center. Transfer salmon to serving platter and pour reserved sauce over top. Garnish with scallions and serve hot. I mixed my glaze together and used it on a pre-made salmon burger patty.  I put the patty in the pan on medium heat and put half the glaze on the top.  I flipped it after 3-4 minutes and cooked for another 3-4 minutes.  Then poured the rest of the glaze on and topped with green onions.  It was awesome! Easy to make, healthy and quick.

Chili Lime Salmon

Review by Lyndee:

Most nights for dinner I have a salmon burger and sometimes, although I love them and the protein they provide, my tongue starts to get bored. Last night I tried this recipe for a chili lime salmon. I didn’t have a pound of fresh salmon on hand but I used it on my frozen salmon burger (thank you Costco) and it turned out really well. 

Ingredients:

1 lb. fresh salmon filet

2 limes

2 tsp. chili powder

1/4 tsp. salt Instructions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Spray a glass baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. Lay the salmon, scale side down in the baking dish. Squeeze the juice from one of the limes over the salmon. Season by sprinkling the chili powder and salt over the salmon. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, until salmon flakes easily with a fork. 4. Serve with remaining lime, cut into slices or wedges.  Or, you can do what I did.  Prepare the salmon as directed and then cook in a pan on the stove top for 3-4 minutes on each side.  It was a nice change of flavor and super easy to do.
