In an effort to stop eating out quite so frickin' much, I have resolved to cook more at home again, especially on the weekends when I have the time to do so. Tonight was my first attempt at a real meal for me in ages.
Not having a real grill but not wanting to cope with heating up the kitchen, I pulled out the George Foreman grill. I bought salmon on Friday as my default is to shy away from cooking protein and I want to break that habit.
I then found a recipe for Maple-Glazed Salmon on Cooking Light's website. I'm not hugely into maple, but I was willing to give it a shot. It turned out very well.
Maple-Glazed Salmon
Ingredients
2 teaspoons paprika
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon ground ancho chile powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon brown sugar
1 teaspoon sea or kosher salt
4 (6-ounce) salmon fillets
Cooking spray
1 teaspoon maple syrup
Preparation
Prepare grill, heating to medium.
Combine first 5 ingredients. Sprinkle fish with salt; rub with paprika mixture.
Place fish on grill rack coated with cooking spray; grill 7 minutes. Drizzle fish with syrup; grill 1 minute or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork.
Yield
4 servings (serving size: 1 salmon fillet)
Nutritional Information
CALORIES 286(42% from fat); FAT 13.5g (sat 3.2g,mono 5.7g,poly 3.4g); PROTEIN 36.5g; CHOLESTEROL 87mg; CALCIUM 30mg; SODIUM 670mg; FIBER 0.6g; IRON 1.1mg; CARBOHYDRATE 2.9g
The maple syrup balances the spice very well. It's sort of blackened (I may have used too much spice) but I'm very fond of it. I served it with fresh bread and steamed broccoli. Yay me for making a good dinner! :)
