Steps:
- Preheat broiler to high. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil and spray with nonstick cooking spray. Place fillets (skin-side down) on the baking sheet and sprinkle evenly with the garlic pepper. Place baking sheet under broiler and broil for 3 minutes.
- Meanwhile, for the glaze, heat olive oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in honey, lime zest, lime juice and soy sauce. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Remove baking sheet from oven. Brush or spoon glaze evenly on the fillets. Return the baking sheet to the oven and broil for 4-7 minutes more or until the fish flakes easily with a fork. Remove from oven. Sprinkle salmon with cilantro (if desired) and serve.

Steps:
- Mince shallots, garlic and from half to all of the remaining jalapeno. Combine in a small bowl with the lime juice and the honey.
- Heat a small saute pan until very hot, and add the oil; reduce heat to medium-high, and saute salmon on one side for about 1 minute. Turn salmon, and add shallot mixture. Reduce heat to medium, and cook until done, following the Canadian rule: measure the salmon at the thickest part and cook 8 minutes to the inch. The salmon should be done in about 5 minutes.
LIME-AND-HONEY GLAZED SALMON WITH WARM BLACK BEAN AND CORN SALAD
Steps:
- Preheat a medium skillet over medium heat with 2 tablespoons of the EVOO (twice around the pan). Add the onions, garlic, red pepper flakes, cumin, salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 3 minutes.
- While the onions are cooking, preheat a medium nonstick skillet over medium-high heat with the remaining 2 tablespoons of EVOO. In a shallow dish, combine the juice of 1 lime, honey, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Add the salmon fillets to the lime-honey mixture and toss to coat thoroughly. Add the seasoned salmon to the hot skillet and cook until just cooked through, about 3 to 4 minutes on each side.
- To the cooked onions, add the bell peppers and corn kernels and cook for 1 minute. Add the chicken stock and continue to cook for another 2 minutes. Add the black beans and cook until the beans are just heated through. Remove the skillet from the heat and add the juice of the second lime, the cilantro, and spinach. Toss to wilt the spinach and then taste and adjust the seasoning. Serve the lime-and-honey-glazed salmon on top of the warm black bean and corn salad.
- Tidbit
- If fresh corn is in season, by all means cut the kernels from 4 fresh ears instead of using frozen.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 450°F. Whisk lime juice, lime peel, honey, 2 tablespoons cilantro, and soy sauce in small bowl; set aside. Heat oil in large deep ovenproof skillet or casserole (with lid) over medium-high heat. Add shallots and sauté until beginning to soften and brown, about 5 minutes. Stir in rice, then 3 1/4 cups broth; bring to boil. Cover skillet tightly with lid; place in oven and bake 10 minutes (rice will be almost cooked through and most of broth will be absorbed; mix in more broth by 1/4 cupfuls if dry).
- Remove skillet from oven. Sprinkle rice lightly with salt. Sprinkle salmon with salt and pepper and arrange on rice, pressing in lightly. Tuck broccolini in around fish, with stems anchored in rice. Spoon 1 tablespoon lime mixture over each salmon fillet. Cover skillet tightly and return to oven; bake until salmon is just opaque in center and broccolini is crisp-tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Drizzle remaining lime mixture over fish and rice; sprinkle with additional chopped cilantro and serve from skillet.
Tips:
- Choose the right salmon: Look for wild-caught, sustainably sourced salmon fillets or steaks that are about 1 inch thick and have a vibrant color.
- Make sure the salmon is properly thawed: If your salmon is frozen, thaw it in the refrigerator overnight or under cold running water for about 30 minutes.
- Pat the salmon dry: Before cooking, pat the salmon fillets or steaks dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture.
- Use a flavorful marinade: Marinating the salmon in a mixture of honey, lime juice, olive oil, garlic, and herbs for at least 30 minutes will enhance its flavor.
- Cook the salmon to perfection: Bake, grill, or pan-fry the salmon until it is cooked through but still moist. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C) as measured with a food thermometer.
- Serve with your favorite sides: Honey-lime salmon pairs well with a variety of sides, such as roasted vegetables, quinoa, rice, or a simple salad.
