Rosemary & Lime Spicy Salmon * Melissa

Thankfully, I married someone who likes fish! Here's a new salmon recipe that I tried last week. It turned out to be super tasty.

Salmon
1 Tbs fresh rosemary
1 lime
sprinkle/ to taste cayenne pepper
sprinkle/ to taste sea salt

To start, spray pyrex baking dish with cooking spray. Place salmon in dish. Juice 1/2 lime through strainer (to catch seeds and pulp.) Pour lime juice over salmon. Coarsely chop rosemary and sprinkle on. Then, sprinkle sea salt and cayenne (*a little goes a long way but makes for excellent flavor.) Thinly slice lime into rounds and place on salmon. Broil on high for about 15 minutes or until fish flakes but is still moist.














By the way, the above pictures of rosemary is from my herb garden which I'm SO excited to finally be able to grow now that I have a sunny porch. Anyway, this salmon turned out to be a huge hit with Nate and was SO tasty! (And, not too spicy, if anyone is wondering...all depends on the amount of cayenne that's a-sprinkled.)

I served the salmon with fresh green beans and Naan (Traditional Indian Flatbread) from Trader Joe's. On the side we had a delicious summer fruit salad of blueberries, green grapes, and watermelon.
