Red-Chili-Rubbed Salmon

Saturday night’s dinner date with kitchen cutie Carolyn Flynn was a Red-Chili-Rubbed Salmon, a wonderful new take on “Salmon sounds good, but let’s do something different.” This recipe came from the Whole Foods Market cookbook.

First, you make the wet rub. I combination of re-hydated red chili peppers, brown sugar, lime juice, garlic and oregano. This goes into the blender.

I put two fillets into a glass baking dish lined with parchment paper (for easy cleanup), then spread on the rib. After that I topped it with lime slices and brushed them with olive oil.

This baked in a pre-heated oven at 350° for around 25 minutes.

The result was a bright, zesty salmon full of flavor. I served mine with a dollop of quinoa topped with seasoned and the roasted asparagus.
