Recipes― Honey Spice Glazed Salmon


Ingredients —

• 1½ teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1½ teaspoon kosher salt
• ¾ teaspoon dry mustard
• ½ teaspoon (1 teaspoon for more spice) ground cayenne pepper
• ½ teaspoon ground cumin
• ½ teaspoon ground oregano
• ⅜ teaspoon black pepper
• 1 lemon, separated
• 2 tablespoons or less honey
• 1 wild sockeye salmon fillet, with skin (½ whole fish)
• Olive oil cooking spray
• Oregano sprigs for garnish


Directions —

• Turn the oven on high broil.

• Mix the first seven ingredients in a bowl to make the rub. Scrape off the scales on the salmon skin in the sink. Rinse and then dry the fish with a paper towel. Squeeze some lemon juice on the fillet. Sprinkle the rub on the fish generously on both sides. Rub with your fingers. Let sit in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes.

• Mix 1 teaspoon of lemon juice with 2 tablespoons of honey in a small bowl. Set aside.

• Line a baking pan with aluminum foil. Spray the foil with the olive oil cooking spray. Lay the fish on the pan and spray the fish with the oil. Place 4 slices of lemon on the top of the fillet. Broil it for 4½ minutes.

• Open the oven and pull the rack out halfway. Pour the set aside mixture of lemon and honey on top of the fish and return to broil for another 1½ minutes, or until slightly charred.

• Transfer fish to a serving platter and garnish.
