Chili-Lime Salmon...HOLLA

This was a quick and easy recipe for salmon. (it seems that I am wearing out the goat cheese so I had to spice it up) You can grill or bake or sear the salmon...I baked since the boy toy was too 'tired' to fire up the grill.

You'll need:

• 4 salmon fillets, about 6 ounces each
• 3 teaspoons fresh lime juice
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/2 teaspoon sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon chili powder
• 1/4 teaspoon cumin
• 1/8 teaspoon salt
• 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
• 4-6 lime wedges
• 3 tablespoons of olive oil (don't you dare call it EVOO)
  
• 2 tablespoons of butter

If you are using your oven:
Preheat to 425
Combine lime juice, garlic, sugar, chili powder, cumin, salt, pepper and olive oil in a small bowl. Mix and let it sit while you inspect your salmon. Make sure none of those tiny bastard bones are left in it and tweeze any if they are left in there. In a glass baking dish cut up your butter into small squares and toss them in the dish, place salmon fillets in dish and then evenly distribute the saucey-sauce on top. Let it sit for 7-10 minutes.

Fire up a skillet and place the fish in for about a minute per side and place back in the baking dish and cook for about 5-7 minutes. Salmon should flake easily.

Using your grill:
Preheat grill for medium heat. Use the mixture instructions above that are italicized. Spread mixture evenly over fillets. Place skin side down onto grill and cook for about 18 minutes, or until fish flakes easily. Remember not to turn the salmon when it is one the grill.

Once cooked sprinkle lime juice over the top and serve with a couple of slices of lime on top.
