A Salmon Recipe That Seems Disgusting but is Delicious

When you think of healthy fish, you immediately consider salmon. It’s just how our minds work. This delicious fish is light and decadent, and it can be made in a number of ways that are enjoyable for all. We love salmon in so many forms, and one of those is baked. We also like it grilled and we even like it on the stove. Many of the salmon recipes you find online when trying to change things up a bit are all the same. They’re foiled baked or grilled, filled with butter and lemon; and it’s delicious. But sometimes you just want something else a little different. With that in mind, we found a salmon recipe that’s a little bit different. At first it might not seem a lot like a delicious way to eat salmon, but our sweet and spicy salmon is delicious. Trust us enough to try this recipe at least once and you will not regret the decision in the least.

What You Need

4 salmon filets (4 oz each and very fresh)

2.5 tbsp brown sugar

2 tbsp honey

2 tbsp olive oil

1 tbsp chili powder

1 tsp cumin

Salt and pepper to taste

The first thing you will do is get a shallow dish in which you can mix your honey and half your olive oil. You’ll then brush this light mixture over your fresh salmon filets. Rinse out your dish and then mix your brown sugar, chili powder, cumin and your salt and pepper to this dish. What you’re going to do now is use your hands to rub this mixture all over your salmon.

To cook your fish, heat your large skillet to medium/high. Add the rest of your olive oil to the mix and then place your salmon filets into the pan with the skin down. You’ll want to lower the heat a bit right there and allow the fish to sear for approximately 7 minutes on that side before flipping it for a minute or two. The center of the fish should be around 145 degrees – no less.

Once it’s finished, serve it with your favorite sides and enjoy this delicious sweet and spicy salmon recipe.
