ROASTED SALMON WITH JALAPEñO, HONEY AND LIME
This is speedy weeknight salmon with a kick, thanks to sliced jalapeño, which flavors the honey glaze and cooks alongside the salmon. The chiles caramelize as they roast, becoming spicy and sweet. If you want to reduce the heat slightly, use two jalapeños instead of three. Serve with steamed white or brown rice, spooning the extra glaze over the salmon and rice.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 400 degrees. While the oven heats, combine the honey, jalapeños, vinegar and soy sauce in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, then turn the heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes. Set aside.
- Pat the salmon fillets dry using paper towels. Brush a 9-by-9-inch baking pan (or other similar-size baking pan or dish) with olive oil, then place the fillets in the pan, arranging them evenly without crowding. Brush the fillets generously with olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Pour the glaze and jalapeños over the salmon, spooning some of the glaze onto the fish as it collects in the bottom of the pan.
- Roast the salmon for 6 minutes, then baste with the glaze. Return to the oven and roast until the salmon is cooked through but still slightly rare in the center, another 6 to 8 minutes.
- Spoon the glaze in the pan over the salmon, then squeeze the lime over the salmon, and sprinkle with salt and cilantro, if using. Serve hot with rice on the side, pouring any glaze that remains in the pan over the rice.

Steps:
- Place fish on plate.
- Combine cilantro, garlic, lime juice, oil and salt in a bowl.
- Set 2 tablespoons aside in a separate bowl.
- Pour the cilantro mixture over the fish (do not use the 2 Tbsp reserved marinade).
- Cover and let it sit 10 minutes.
- Spray broiler rack with nonstick cooking spray.
- Place salmon on rack and brush with 1 tablespoon marinade.
- Broil 6" from heat about 3-4 minutes.
- Turn steaks over and brush with remaining tablespoon of marinade.
- Broil 3 more minutes or until cooked through.
- Note: I have used two very thick salmon steaks instead of the four 3/4 inch thick ones that the recipe calls for, and I have used the same amount of marinade.
- However, since thicker steaks will take longer to cook, the marinade can burn.
- To compensate for this, I add a little bit of marinade at a time.
- For example, if the salmon steaks are 1- 1 1/2 inch thick or more, they can take around 10 minutes to cook.
- So I brush the salmon steaks with less marinade, around 1/2 tablespoon.
- I then remove them from the broiler after 2 1/2- 3 minutes, and add a little more marinade, reserving enough for two more applications.
- Then I broil for another 2 1/2 minutes.
- I then turn the salmon over and add more marinade, still reserving a little.
- I broil another 2 1/2 minutes.
- I then add the remaining marinade and broil the remaining 2 1/2 minutes or until cooked through.
- This may seem tiresome, but it's well worth it.
- The marinade is great and you definitely don't want it to burn!

Tips:
- Choose the right salmon fillet: Look for a fillet that is firm and has a vibrant color. Avoid fillets that are mushy or have a dull color.
- Cook the salmon fillet properly: The best way to cook salmon is to cook it until it is just cooked through. Overcooking will make the salmon dry and tough.
- Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better the dish will taste. Use fresh cilantro, lime, and jalapeno for the best flavor.
- Adjust the spiciness to your liking: If you don't like spicy food, you can reduce the amount of jalapeno in the recipe. You can also add more jalapeno if you like it spicy.
- Serve the salmon fillet immediately: Salmon is best served immediately after it is cooked. This will ensure that the salmon is moist and flavorful.
Conclusion:
This recipe for salmon fillet with cilantro, lime, and jalapeno is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The salmon is cooked to perfection and the cilantro, lime, and jalapeno add a bright and flavorful touch. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
