Chili Rubbed Salmon

Salmon is my favorite fish, hands down. And this recipe sounded like a flavorful and delicious way to spice up my favorite fish. Although we were skeptical about the cold salsa on top of the warm fish, it TOTALLY works!

Ingredients:
  • 2 Salmon filets
  • Olive oil
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp chili powder
  • ½ tsp cumin
  • Black pepper
  • Salt
  • Avocado
  • Cherry tomatoes, chopped
  • Juice of 1 lime

Instructions:

  • Preheat the oven to 425.
  • Rinse salmon and pat dry. Brush with olive oil.
  • Combine brown sugar, chili powder, cumin, black pepper, and salt. Spread generously over both sides of the salmon.
  • Heat a little oil in a pan over medium high heat. Cook the salmon for 3-4 minutes/side (depending on thickness). Then transfer the salmon to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and finish cooking in the oven for about 10-12 minutes.
  • While the salmon is baking, combine avocado, tomatoes, and lime juice.
  • Top the salmon with salsa when it comes out of the oven.
